In preparation for the 2027 Punjab assembly elections, the All India Congress Committee has decided to conduct three surveys to evaluate the winnability of ticket aspirants across all 117 constituencies in Punjab, India. This strategic move follows the party's performance in the 2022 elections, where it secured only 18 seats. The surveys, supervised by Bhupesh Baghel (former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh), will gather feedback from the public and Congress workers to aid in candidate selection and mitigate factional disputes within the party. The central leadership aims to establish a feedback-based process rather than relying on internal lobbying. Additionally, the Congress is planning a robust digital campaign to counter the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, focusing on governance issues. The surveys are set to begin in mid-May and conclude by July, allowing candidates ample time to engage with constituents before the elections.
