New Delhi/IBNS/UNI: Surviving the initial scare from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which rules Delhi, is maintaining a comfortable lead over the saffron camp as suggested by the trends of Delhi civic poll (MCD) results.
As per latest reports, the AAP is leading in 133 seats, BJP in 105 seats, Congress 8 and Others 4.
The saffron camp has crossed the AAP several times in the process of the vote counting since morning.
Both AAP and BJP candidates have contested from all 250 wards, while Congress has 247 wards in the fray. This time, Delhi recorded a total voter turnout of approximately 50 per cent in the polling held on December 4.
The exit polls predicted on Monday that AAP would sweep civic polls.
According to the India Today-Axis My India, the AAP is likely to get between 149-171 seats out of the 250 wards and form its maiden government in MCD after unification of the three corporations.
