The Ludhiana West assembly bypoll serves as a critical contest for Punjab's major political parties. It's a litmus test for AAP's dominance, Congress's revival, BJP's urban appeal, and SAD's leadership. With 51.33% voter turnout, the outcome could reshape the political landscape in Punjab.

The counting of votes for the Ludhiana West assembly bypoll is set for Monday, marking the end of a heated electoral contest that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann framed as a struggle between 'humility' and 'arrogance.'
The AAP, having fielded Sanjeev Arora, hopes to reaffirm its grip on Punjab, while the Congress aims for a comeback in the constituency it once dominated. The BJP and SAD also have high stakes as they eye urban voter support.
The outcome will reveal the political pulse of Punjab's urban voters following a 51.33% turnout, down from the 64% seen in 2022. AAP's past Assembly successes make this election crucial in maintaining its regional influence.
