Explained: Delhi voters have always chosen experience over new blood

India Today  

The national capital is set to go for polls in a single phase on February 5, with the Aam Aadmi Party aiming for a historic third consecutive win in the Assembly elections. The India Today Data Intelligence Unit looked at past election results to understand whether Delhi voters prefer experienced leaders or fresh faces. Back in the 1993 Assembly elections, when the Bharatiya Janata Party formed the government, 58 out of 70 winners were fresh candidates, suggesting that voters were open to giving newcomers a chance. That year, 28 candidates won their second term, and 17 secured a third term, showing that Delhi voters were again leaning towards leaders with a proven track record. As the city gears up for the upcoming polls, one big question looms: Will voters continue to trust AAP's experienced candidates, or will the opposition succeed in breaking the party's winning streak?
