Only Four Muslim Candidates Win in Delhi Elections 2025

New Delh, 8 February – (DeccanLive.com): In the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, only four Muslim candidates won, and all of them belong to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). While AAP maintained its dominance in key Muslim-majority constituencies, the party saw a significant decline in its vote share compared to the 2020 elections. This decline was not due to increased popularity of the BJP but rather because a large portion of Muslim voters shifted their support to the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) and Congress.

The Four Winning Muslim Candidates:

1. Amanatullah Khan (Okhla) – Won with 88,943 votes.
2. Ali Mohammad Iqbal (Matia Mahal) – Won with 58,012 votes.
3. Chaudhary Zubair Ahmed (Seelampur) – Won with 79,009 votes.
4. Imran Hussain (Ballimaran) – Won with 57,004 votes.

In the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, five Muslim candidates had won, including:

• Haji Yunus (Mustafaabad)
• Abdul Rahman (Seelampur)
• Amanatullah Khan (Okhla)
• Imran Hussain (Ballimaran)
• Shoyab Iqbal (Matia Mahal)
