Punjab Elections 2022: Full list of Congress candidates

The Congress on Saturday released its first list of 86 candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab, fielding Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi from Chamkaur Sahib and PCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu from Amritsar East. The party has also fielded Punjab deputy chief ministers — Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa from Dera Baba Nanak and Om Prakash Soni from Amritsar Central, the seats they already represent.

Punjab will go to polls in single phase on February 14 and the counting of votes will be done on March 10, along with Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur. The Congress faces a direct challenge from the Aam Aadmi Party, which has been given a clear edge by the pre-poll surveys.
