2015 elections in India

The 2015 elections in India encompassed a series of important electoral events, notably the Delhi Legislative Assembly election held on February 7, 2015. These elections were significant as they followed the 2013 elections, resulting in a hung assembly and subsequent government formation by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). In the 2015 polls, the AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal, achieved a historic victory by winning 67 out of 70 seats, marking a remarkable comeback after a brief resignation in 2014. The elections were characterized by high voter turnout, extensive campaigning, and the prominent role of social media. Additionally, the results were seen as a reflection of public sentiment towards governance and anti-corruption measures in the national political landscape.
