MPs, turncoats find place in AAP's second list of candidates

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its second list of 31 candidates on Thursday for the 2027 Punjab assembly elections, tapping two members of Parliament and four women.

The latest slate brings the party’s total number of declared nominees to 71, following an initial list of 40 candidates released on Oct. 31.

Under the new lineup, sitting MPs Raj Kumar Chabbewal and Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer will contest the Phagwara and Barnala ridings, respectively.

In a notable shift in the Lambi constituency, the party bypassed Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian in favour of his nephew, Randhir Singh Dhira.

The four female candidates named to the ticket are Saravjit Kaur Manuke in Jagraon, former Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Vaninder Kaur Loomba in Shutrana, Sonia Mann in Rajasansi and Harjot Kaur Lohtia in Phillaur.
