Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday ruled out the possibility of his wife, Dr Gurpreet Kaur Mann, contesting the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections on an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ticket.
Addressing a press conference, Mann categorically clarified that his wife would not be entering the electoral contest, putting an end to speculation about her possible candidature in the forthcoming Assembly elections.
The Chief Minister’s statement comes amid the Aam Aadmi Party’s ongoing exercise to announce candidates for the 2027 elections.
Mann also emphasised that the party’s selection of candidates was guided by considerations such as development work, public sentiment and electoral strategy, rather than personal or family affiliations.
His clarification assumes significance in the backdrop of discussions about Dr Gurpreet Kaur’s possible entry into electoral politics.
The AAP has already begun releasing lists of candidates for various Assembly constituencies in Punjab, with the party leadership undertaking a constituency-wise assessment as part of its preparations for the elections.
The Chief Minister’s latest statement makes it clear that Dr Gurpreet Kaur will not be among the party’s candidates for the 2027 Assembly polls.
