Legislative Assembly elections were held in Delhi in November 1993.[1] The result was a victory for the Bhartiya Janata Party, which won 49 of the 70 seats in the Assembly.[2]

State Reorganization

First Legislative Assembly elections in Delhi were held in 1952. But under States Reorganisation Act, 1956, Delhi was made a Union Territory under the direct administration of the President of India and the Delhi Legislative Assembly was abolished simultaneously.[3] So the next legislative assembly elections in Delhi were held in 1993, when Union Territory of Delhi was formally declared as National Capital Territory of Delhi by the Sixty-ninth Amendment to the Indian constitution.[4]
