AAP won three out of four Punjab Assembly seats in by-elections, challenging Congress's grip.

In recent by-elections in Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won three out of four Assembly seats, marking a significant challenge to the Congress party's dominance. The victories in Gidderbaha and Dera Baba Nanak were particularly notable, as they were long-held Congress seats. Despite losing Barnala, an AAP stronghold, the party's overall performance has shown expanding influence in Punjab. The BJP did not secure any seats. Voter turnout was highest in Gidderbaha at 81%, while other constituencies saw turnouts between 53% and 63%.
