In the context of recently announced Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) election results for the year 2022, a video is being widely shared on social media claiming that BJP has won the election by securing 154 seats out of 250, whereas AAP and INC got 87 & 08 seats respectively. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: BJP has won the MCD 2022 election by securing 154 seats out of 250, whereas AAP and INC got 87 & 08 seats respectively.
Fact: As per the official data released by the Delhi State Election Commission, seats won by the contesting parties are, AAP- 134, BJP-104, INC-09, Others-03. Even though the video talks about the initial leads, the title, description, and thumbnail of the video say the BJP won the election by winning 154 seats. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.
Though the video talks about the initial leads, the title, description, and thumbnail of the video say BJP won the election by getting 154 seats.  However, as per the Official date available on the Delhi State Election Commission’s ‘Nigam Chunav Delhi’ app, the seats won by all the contesting parties are AAP- 134, BJP-104, INC-09, Others-03.
Media outlets also reported the same figure.
To sum it up, AAP wins the MCD 2022 elections by getting 134 seats, whereas BJP and INC got 104 & 09 seats respectively.
