Chandigarh, November 12, 2026: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has fielded two sitting Lok Sabha members in the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections as part of its second list of 31 candidates released on Thursday.
Raj Kumar Chabbewal, MP from Hoshiarpur, has been nominated from the Phagwara Assembly constituency, while Sangrur MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer will contest from Barnala.
Both leaders are former MLAs and will now be entering the Assembly poll contest while serving as Members of Parliament.
Chabbewal’s candidature has also drawn attention as his son, Dr Ishank Chabbewal, is the sitting MLA from Chabbewal and has been renominated by the AAP from the same constituency. With the two nominations, the party has allotted Assembly tickets to two members of the Chabbewal family.
The announcements are part of AAP’s preparations for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections.
