==Election and government formation==

In all, 7 national parties, 8 state parties, 53 registered (unrecognised) parties and other independent candidates contested for the 70 assembly seats of the Assembly.

With 43 seats, [[Indian National Congress|INC]] emerged as the single largest party, much ahead of the required half way mark to form the government. [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] was followed by [[Bhartiya Janta Party|BJP]] with 23 seats. Being the single largest party, [[Indian National Congress|INC]] approached the [[List of lieutenant governors of Delhi|Lieutenant Governor of Delhi]] [[Tejendra Khanna]] and made claim to form a government. [[Indian National Congress|INC]] hence formed the government with [[Sheila Dikshit]] as the Chief Minister.<ref name=" Election Results "/><ref name=" Sheila Dixit Delhi CM for 3rd term ">{{cite news|title=Sheila Dixit Delhi CM for 3rd term|work=Rediff.com|access-date=9 January 2017|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/dec/10sheila-dixit-named-delhi-cm-for-a-third-term.htm}}</ref>
