AAP has made massive gains in the counting so far, and is leading in over 90 seats, far ahead of the Congress.
In a shock defeat in Punjab, former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh has lost his assembly constituency.
AAP is emerging as a strong force and looking at poll trends, the party is set to emerge as a national force to reckon with. Congress CM Charanjit Singh Channi is set to resign following clean rout of the grand old party.
A look at big faces leading & trailing from constituencies:
- Bhagwant Mann wins from Dhuri and set to become next Punjab CM
- Captain Amarinder Singh loses Patiala Assembly seat
- Former IPS officer Vijay Pratap leading from Amritsar East
- Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi is trailing from Chamkaur Sahib
- Navjot Singh Sidhu & Akali leader Bikram Majithia are trailing from Amritsar East

Punjab Congress president and sitting MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu shared a message on Twitter accepting his loss in the 2022 Assembly election.
