2008 Delhi Legislative Assembly election

The 2008 Delhi Legislative Assembly election was conducted on November 29, 2008, to elect members of the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi. This election was pivotal in determining the political landscape of the National Capital Territory, as it followed a period of significant urban development and political maneuvering. The incumbent Indian National Congress, led by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, sought to secure a third consecutive term, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the main opposition party, aimed to capitalize on growing discontent over issues such as infrastructure and public services. The election results culminated in a decisive victory for the Congress, which won 43 of the 70 seats, further strengthening its position in Delhi politics amidst a backdrop of rising voter engagement and socio-political changes.
