The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said Friday that it lacks the numbers to form a government in Delhi and this decision will be conveyed to Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung Saturday.

"We don't have majority (support) nor have we finished first" in the 70-member house, party leader Yogendra Yadav told the media.

Yadav said AAP founder leader Arvind Kejriwal would meet Jung Saturday in response to a formal invitation from the Lt. Governor regarding government formation in Delhi.

On Friday, the BJP, which finished at the head of a fractured Delhi assembly with 31 seats, said it cannot form a government. The AAP finished second with 28 seats.
