Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's AAP government faces its first re-election test in 2027. Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal, and the BJP — which is contesting more independently in the state since parting ways with the SAD — are all working to rebuild their base. Issues around agriculture, drug de-addiction, law and order, and the state's fiscal position are expected to dominate campaigning.
