New Delhi: A turnout of 19.95 per cent was recorded in the Delhi Assembly polls till 11 am on Wednesday.

Former AAP councillor and 2020 Delhi riots accused Tahir Hussain is contesting the upcoming Delhi assembly polls on an AIMIM ticket. 

He campaigned in his constituency after the Supreme Court granted him six-day custody parole on Tuesday last week.

Polling is underway at 13,766 stations across all of Delhi's 70 assembly constituencies to decide the fate of 699 candidates in a contest that could reshape the political landscape of the capital.

While AAP is eyeing a third consecutive term, BJP and Congress are hoping for a resurgence in Delhi.

In the 2020 assembly polls, Delhi recorded a voter turnout of 62.59 per cent while only 56 per cent of voters participated in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
