''This is the beginning of a new kind of politics. This is a new sign,'' said Kejriwal as he delivered the victory speech at the party headquarters amid celebrations.

Earlier Kejriwal, who secured second term as chief minister of Delhi, greeted the party workers at party headquarters in Delhi.

''I thank people of Delhi for reposing their faith in AAP for the third time. This the victory of the people who consider me as their son and voted for us,'' he said.

''This is the day of Lord Hanuman who has blessed the people of Delhi,'' he continued ''We pray that Hanuman keeps showing the right path to us so that we continue to serve people for the next five years'', he further said.

As per official Election Commission trends, Aam Aadmi Party was leading in 52 seats and Bharatiya Janata Party in 18 seats. 

As per latest official Election Commission trends, both Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are leading on 10 seats apiece.

Television reports quoting initial trends stated that APP was ahead in 20 seats while the BJP leading in eight. Congress just one seat. 

''I am not nervous. I am confident that it will be a good day for BJP. We are coming to power in Delhi today. Don't be surprised if we win 55 seats,'' says Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari as counting of votes begins.  

Couting begins. Most of the exit polls predicted that Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP will retain the power, winning two-thirds seats while some have even predicted three-fourth majority in the 70-member assembly. The high octane campaign had seen the heavyweights of different parties leaving no stone unturned to influence the voters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and other Union ministers and CMs sought votes for the BJP, which has been out of power in Delhi for over 20 years now. 

The ruling party -- AAP -- was mainly dependent on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The Congress party had pressed its several leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra into campaigning.

According to Delhi`s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Ranbir Singh, the counting of votes will take place at 21 centres. There will be a dedicated hall for every assembly constituency. A tight security net has been put in place to ensure the counting takes place in a peaceful manner. Over 670 candidates are in the fray for 70 seats at stake in the country`s capital.

62.59 per cent voter turnout was recorded in Delhi on February 8, when the elections were held in a single-phase.

The counting of votes for the Delhi Vidhan Sabha Election 2020 will begin at 8am today with the fate of Aam Adami Party(AAP) chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to be decided by voters of the national capital. The Delhi Assembly Election Result 2020 have been keenly followed nationwide as it is seen as a big test for BJP which has been out of power in Delhi for the past 22 years, the big question on everybody's mind is will the party which dominates the government also come back to rule the capital?

The counting of votes will take place in several locations spread across the city after the Election Commission officials open the EVMs at 8am on Tuesday amid heavy security. The BJP has campaigned to get back the capital with home minister Amit Shah leading the effort and was later joined by PM Modi to take on CM Arvind Kejriwal. Although the BJP hasn't announced its CM face but Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari has been leading the electoral battle for the party.

Several key battles will be keenly followed especially in Dwarka, Chandni Chowk and New Delhi constituencies.

The AAP which had won 67 of the 70 Delhi Vidhan Sabha seats marking a watershed in assembly polls in the capital, this time, however, the BJP hopes to give the ruling party a tough fight although several exit polls have given Kejriwal's party a clear majority. The Congress which failed to open its account in the polls in 2015 will also be hoping to improve its poll tally.
