The Aam Aadmi Party faced a tumultuous 2024, marked by legal entanglements and electoral defeats that shook its foundations. The year was notably defined by the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi's former Chief Minister, by the Enforcement Directorate over alleged corruption in the excise policy case, a controversy that lingered for months.

Kejriwal's six-month stint in Tihar Jail, coupled with legal battles faced by other senior leaders, dented the party's anti-corruption narrative. The AAP also struggled in the Lok Sabha elections, losing all seats in Delhi and winning just a few in Punjab, a state where it holds power.

Facing voter dissatisfaction and internal challenges, the party is gearing up for the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. With new strategies and a reshuffled candidate list, AAP is determined to regain public trust and counter opposition narratives, setting the stage for a critical electoral showdown.
