Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has released its second list of 31 candidates for the Punjab Legislative Assembly Elections 2027 following an important meeting of the party's Political Affairs Committee (PAC). Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann personally reached Delhi to attend the meeting, after which the party announced the names of its candidates.

Speaking to the media, Mann said the names in the new list would surprise everyone. He clarified that the tickets had been allocated on the basis of survey reports and that several prominent faces had been replaced.

The Chief Minister said the party had given every sitting MLA an opportunity to improve their performance, but the final decision was taken strictly on the basis of survey findings.

According to available information, tickets of eight sitting MLAs have been dropped in the latest list. However, the party has not taken a decision on the candidature of any minister in this round.

The second list includes candidates from 31 Assembly constituencies across Punjab. Among the prominent names are Swaran S Salaria from Sujanpur, Rohit Syal from Pathankot, Raman Bahl from Gurdaspur, Sonia Mann from Raja Sansi, Karamjit Singh Rintu from Amritsar North, Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal from Phagwara and Nitin Kohli from Jalandhar Central.

The party has also fielded Jasvir Singh Garhi from Chamkaur Sahib, Parminder Singh Goldy from Kharar, Dr KNS Kang from Dakha, Saravjit Kaur Manuke from Jagraon and Dr Suhani Doda from Abohar.

AAP had earlier announced its first list of 40 candidates for the 2027 Assembly elections, of whom 25 belonged to the Malwa region. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was nominated from Dhuri, while jailed leader Sanjeev Arora was fielded from Ludhiana West.

With the announcement of the second list, AAP has further intensified its preparations for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, with candidate selection reportedly driven by performance assessments and survey feedback.
