==Election and Government formation== Total six national parties, eleven state parties, sixty registered (unrecognised) parties and other independent candidates contested for 70 assembly seats. With 31 seats, BJP emerged as the single largest party but fell short of the half-way mark required for a simple majority. BJP was closely followed by AAP, which won 28 seats. In absence of clear majority, Legislative Assembly of Delhi was hung. Being the single largest party, BJP approached the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung and refused to form a government. Thereafter, Indian National Congress, which had won eight seats, offered "unconditional" support to the AAP. AAP initially rejected INC's support but later accepted it and formed the government with Arvind Kejriwal as the Chief Minister.<ref name=" Election Results "/><ref name=" AAP accepts support ">{{cite news|title=AAP accepts support|publisher=NDTV|access-date=9 January 2017|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/in-seven-languages-aap-explains-why-it-accepted-congress-support-545549}}</ref>
