Hi Luis,

In India, a new political party Aam Aadmi Part (literal English
translation: Common Man's Party) which was established in 2012-13 used
social media extensively for campaigning and mobilisation and in 2015 won
Assembly election in national capital of Delhi by defeating two big
national parties.

Here are few articles:

Another article:

Off course there are lots of articles and reports available online.

Best,
Anand
