The Aam Aadmi Party has announced a second slate of 31 candidates for the upcoming Punjab legislative assembly elections, expanding its electoral presence in the state.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released a second list of 31 candidates for the Punjab Legislative Assembly elections on Tuesday, signalling a broadened campaign strategy ahead of the polls slated for March 2024.
The new slate follows an earlier announcement of 30 candidates and includes a mix of experienced politicians and fresh faces. While the party has not disclosed individual names in this brief, the list covers a range of constituencies across the state, indicating AAP’s intent to contest seats beyond its traditional strongholds.

The election is scheduled for March 2024, with the first phase expected to begin in early March. AAP’s latest move comes as the party prepares to intensify its campaign efforts in the run‑up to the polls.
