NEW DELHI (AP) -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Hindu nationalist party won the most seats in the high-stakes state legislature election in India’s federal territory, including New Delhi, according to official data on Saturday, for the first time in over a quarter-century.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party won 40 seats in the 70-member assembly that includes India’s capital of 20 million people, ousting the Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, that ruled New Delhi since 2015. The AAP won 17. Counting was still ongoing in the 13 other seats.
