The two-time chief minister has been a member of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha for five terms. He represented Patiala (Urban) thrice, and also Samana and Talwandi Sabo once each.

Singh had last year resigned from the Congress to form his own political party, Punjab Lok Congress. He had differences with Navjot Singh Sidhu and senior Congress party leaders over various political issues, including election strategy for the state.

Election in Punjab for the 117-member assembly was held in a single phase on February 20. Nearly 72 per cent vote was cast during the polling, which is marginally lower than the 77.4 per cent recorded in the 2017 assembly election. The total number of candidates fighting the assembly election was 1,304, which is the highest ever.

This is the second state that the AAP has won, after Delhi. Repeating its performance in the two consecutive Delhi elections, the party registered a landslide majority in Punjab too.

Taking to Twitter, Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu accepted his party's defeat in the elections.  

He posted: "The voice of the people is the voice of God …. Humbly accept the mandate of the people of Punjab …. Congratulations to Aap !!!"
