The '''Fifth Legislative Assembly of Delhi''' was constituted on 28 December 2013 after the [[2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election|Delhi Legislative Assembly elections]] on 4 December 2013.<ref name=" Election Results ">{{cite news|title=Election Results|publisher=[[Election Commission of India]] official website|access-date=9 January 2017|url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/ElectionStatistics.aspx}}</ref>

==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, [[Bhartiya Janta Party|BJP]] emerged as the single largest party but fell short of the half way mark. [[Bhartiya Janta Party|BJP]] was closely followed by [[Aam Aadmi Party|AAP]]. In absence of clear majority, [[Legislative Assembly of Delhi]] was hung. Being the single largest party, [[Bhartiya Janta Party|BJP]] approached the [[Lieutenant Governor of Delhi]] [[Najeeb Jung]] and refused to form a government. Thereafter, [[Indian National Congress]] offered "unconditional" support to the [[Aam Aadmi Party|AAP]]. [[Aam Aadmi Party|AAP]] initially rejected [[Indian National Congress|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>
