Yogender Chandoliya of the BJP defeated Udit Raj of the Congress by a margin of 2,90,849 votes in the constituency.
On the other hand, the overall number of NOTA votes decreased slightly from 45,629 in 2019 to 45,554 in this election.
The New Delhi constituency, which paired the BJP's Bansuri Swaraj against the AAP's Somnath Bharti, had the lowest number of NOTA votes cast.
4,813 people in the constituency chose this option in total.
Voters have the option to reject each and every contender by selecting the NOTA option.
In September 2013, in response to a Supreme Court decision, it was integrated into the electronic voting machine (EVM).
In the Chandni Chowk constituency, 5,563 voters chose NOTA, and Praveen Khandelwal of the BJP won with a lead of 89,325 votes.
5,873 voters in North-East Delhi chose NOTA in a direct contest between two Purvanchali candidates, Manoj Tiwari of the BJP and Kanhaiya Kumar of the Congress.
In the East Delhi seat, 5,394 people chose the NOTA option, while 5,961 voters chose the same choice in the South Delhi electorate.
With 8,699 votes, the West Delhi constituency—where the AAP's Mahabal Mishra was running against the BJP's Kamaljeet Sehrawat—had the second-highest number of NOTA votes.
NOTA has a "symbolic" influence, according to former chief election commissioner O P Rawat, who also stated that it can only be made legally effective on poll results if it receives more than 50% of the vote in a seat.
According to what Rawat informed PTI, a candidate will win even if 99 out of 100 votes are cast in favour of the NOTA option and one vote is cast for them.
