The 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly elections will be held in Punjab on 20 February 2022 to elect the 117 members of the 16th Assembly of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. The votes will be counted and the results will be declared on 10 March 2022.

Background and overview

The tenure of Punjab Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 23 March 2022.[1] The previous assembly elections were held in February 2017. After the election, Indian National Congress formed the state government, with Amarinder Singh becoming Chief Minister.[2]

Political Overview

In the 2017 Punjab Legislative Assembly election, the Indian National Congress won 77 out of 117 total seats. This landslide victory pushed the ruling alliance between Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to third place with only 18 seats. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came in second, winning 20 seats and forming the official opposition in Punjab.[3]

Political Developments

The former Leader of the Opposition, Sukhpal Singh Khaira, joined Congress on 2 June 2021 along with Bhadaur MLA Pirmal Singh Dhaula and Maur MLA Jagdev Singh Kamalu. This reduced the AAP's seat count from 19 to 16 in the Punjab Legislative Assembly.[4]

On 18 September 2021, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh resigned over differences with other members of Congress and was succeeded by Charanjit Singh Channi.[5][6]

On 27 October 2021, Singh announced he would be forming a new party to contest the election.[7] He officially resigned from Indian National Congress on 2 November 2021, and founded a new political party, Punjab Lok Congress.[8]

In the 2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election that occurred in December 2021, the Aam Aadmi Party won 14 seats and became the single largest party in the council of total 35 seats.[9]

On 18 January 2022, AAP declared Bhagwant Mann as their Chief Ministerial candidate for the assembly election.[10]
