Waris Punjab De fields jailed Pappalpreet Singh of Majitha for Punjab polls

The Waris Punjab De group, a splinter of the Akali Dal, has named Pappalpreet Singh as its candidate for the Majitha seat in the forthcoming Punjab Legislative Assembly election. Singh, who is presently serving a prison term, will contest the poll while behind bars. The party released a statement confirming his nomination and emphasizing its confidence in his ability to represent the constituency despite his detention. This move underscores the faction's strategy to field high‑profile candidates even under legal constraints, aiming to consolidate its voter base ahead of the state-wide polls. Election officials have been informed of the nomination, and the filing of necessary paperwork is underway.
