AAP Leads in Punjab Local Body Polls
Chandigarh, December 21, 2024: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has emerged as the frontrunner in the local body elections held across Punjab, securing a significant lead in the results for five Municipal Corporations, 44 Municipal Councils, and Nagar Panchayats.
According to early trends, the Congress party is trailing in second position, while other political contenders, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), are struggling to make substantial gains.
AAP’s performance highlights its growing dominance in urban and semi-urban areas, further strengthening its political base in Punjab. The party's leaders have attributed the results to their governance model and voter-centric policies.
The Congress, despite its second-place position, has shown resilience in select areas, indicating its continued relevance in the state's political landscape.
The final results are expected to shape the political narrative in Punjab, particularly ahead of the next state assembly elections. Analysts believe AAP's strong performance in the local polls reflects sustained voter trust in the party's leadership.
Counting is ongoing, and a clearer picture is likely to emerge as results are finalized.
