The ruling BJP on Wednesday dominated the Municipal Corporation of Delhi bypolls , winning seven of the 12 contested wards. Despite its strong performance, the party lost two wards it had previously held.

Vote counting for the November 30 bypolls took place today. According to the Election Commission of India, the Aam Aadmi Party won three wards, while the Congress and the All India Forward Bloc secured one ward each.

These civic body bypolls served as a key litmus test for the BJP , marking its first electoral challenge since the party stormed to power after the Assembly elections in February.

Of the 12 wards where voting took place, nine were earlier held by the BJP and the remaining by AAP.

The ruling party lost the wards of Naraina and Sangam Vihar A.
