This turnout is lower compared to the last three assembly elections

58.06 percent of eligible voters cast their ballots this time for the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly. This turnout is lower compared to the last three assembly elections.

In 2013, voter turnout was 65.63 percent, in 2015 it was 67.12 percent, and in 2020 it was 62.59 percent. In all three of those elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) formed the government in Delhi.

This time, exit polls predict a significant loss of seats for AAP. In 2020, AAP secured 62 seats with 53.57 percent of the vote, while BJP won 8 seats, and Congress failed to win any seats. According to the exit polls, it is predicted that Congress may either fail to open its account or secure between 1 to 3 seats this time.

Industry Minister Francois Philippe Champagne says he's telling his department to prioritize investments in projects that primarily use Canadian steel and aluminum — part of Ottawa's reply to the Trump administration's trade war. Champagne says the move is in response to the "unfair and unjustified" 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum levied by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Canada responded to Trump's steel and aluminum levies with 25 per cent tariffs on $29.8 billion worth of American goods, which took effect just after midnight Thursday. Champagne says Canadian steel and
