Prominent successful AAP candidates include Atishi from Kalkaji, Som Dutt from Sadar Bazar, Gopal Rai in Babarpur, Virender Singh Kadian from Delhi Cantt, Kuldeep Kumar in the Kondli seat, Jarnail Singh in the Tilak Nagar seat, Imran Hussain in Ballimaran, and Sahi Ram from Tughlakabad. Other AAP winners are Mukesh Kumar Ahlawat from Sultanpur Majra constituency, Anil Jha in Kirari, Chaudhary Zubair Ahmad from Seelam Pur, and Punardeep Singh Sawhney in Chandni Chowk.

The notable faces who lost include senior AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Saurabh Bhardwaj; Durgesh Pathak, Avadh Ojha, and Jitender Singh Shunty; Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit; and BJP’s Ramesh Bidhuri and Raaj Kumar Anand.

In by-elections, BJP’s Chandrabhanu Paswan has won from the Milkipur assembly constituency in Uttar Pradesh. He defeated Samajwadi Party’s Ajit Prasad by a margin of over 61,700 votes. Chandirakumar, VC of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), has won the by-poll in the Erode (East) assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu.
