The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is grappling with anti-incumbency sentiments, corruption allegations, and an assertive BJP as it seeks to secure a third term. A SWOT analysis reveals AAP's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in this election landscape.

On the strengths front, AAP's initiatives such as improved government schools, mohalla clinics, and free utilities continue to set it apart. New promises like the monthly honorarium for women and comprehensive healthcare for seniors bolster its welfare image. Innovative campaigns keep these benefits in the public eye, emphasizing AAP's active voter outreach.

However, anti-incumbency poses a significant challenge after over a decade in power. Corruption accusations involving key figures, including Arvind Kejriwal, have tarnished its reputation. Leadership issues and controversies like 'Sheesh Mahal' further complicate its campaign. AAP's ability to address internal problems and external threats will be crucial for its prospects both locally and nationally.
