Amritpal Singh's party gears up for 2027 Punjab assembly polls
Akali Dal Waris Punjab De, founded by jailed MP Amritpal Singh, is preparing for the 2027 Punjab assembly elections, fielding candidates including Satwant Singh, son of Indira Gandhi's convicted assassin, and signalling that Panthic politics remains a potent force.
The Akali Dal Waris Punjab De (ADWPD), founded by jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, is preparing for the 2027 Punjab assembly elections. The party aims to expand its organizational base and is projecting greater participation of youth and grassroots workers, according to reports. This signals that Panthic politics remains a potent force in the state, as a vacuum created by the decline of the Shiromani Akali Dal is now being actively contested.
The party has fielded 61-year-old Satwant Singh, son of Kehar Singh, who was convicted and hanged in connection with the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Reports indicate that Amritpal Singh will contest the upcoming assembly polls, possibly against Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann from the Dhuri assembly segment.
