Punjab Election 2027: AAP seeks repeat, Congress eyes comeback, Akalis fight for revival - What's at stake for BJP? | Mint
Punjab's 2027 Assembly election is shaping up as a multi-cornered fight. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Congress and the Akali Dal each face very different tests, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and newer Panthic groups are also in the race. Civic polls earlier gave AAP the most wards, though these don't predict Assembly results. Watch governance records and campaign issues as the contest builds.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Punjab's 117-member Assembly election is due next year, with AAP, Congress and the Akali Dal in a multi-cornered contest.
- In the 2026 civic elections, AAP won 958 of the 1,977 wards, Congress won 397, and the Akalis finished with 192.
