AAP's tally of 67 out of 70 seats in Delhi means it won about 96% of the total seats in the state assembly.
An analysis of over 300 assembly elections held since Independence shows that the battle for Delhi was among one of the most one-sided ever.
In terms of the proportion of total seats won by the largest party, AAP's sweep is the fourth largest so far.
The previous three have all been in Sikkim.
The Sikkim Sangram Parishad led by Nar Bahadur Bhandari won all 32 seats in 1989, the first instance of a 100% sweep.
In 2009, the Sikkim Democratic Front led by Pawan Kumar Chamling repeated the feat.
The SDF had in 2004 come close, winning 31 of the 32 seats.
