Alliance discussions between the Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiromani Akali Dal have intensified ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. An internal survey by the BJP projects that the alliance could secure over 80 seats in the 117-member assembly. However, seat sharing and the chief ministerial face remain key points of contention. The BJP is seeking at least 45 assembly constituencies, expanding beyond its traditional urban footprint into rural belts following an increase in its vote share. Concerns also persist regarding Sukhbir Singh Badal as the chief ministerial face, with reservations over leadership choices as both parties negotiate terms to move beyond past seat arrangements.
