In a bid to rebuild its electoral fortunes in Punjab, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), which has been going through a challenging phase since losing power in 2017, is mounting an aggressive early campaign to reconnect with voters ahead of the State Assembly election due in 2027.

The party on Saturday (January 24, 2026) announced plans to organise a series of rallies in all Assembly constituencies in the State starting next month, aimed at highlighting its past developmental record and presenting its vision for the State’s future.
The announcement came at a meeting of district presidents and constituency in-charges, chaired by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal, where the party outlined its strategy to reconnect with voters ahead of the 2027 polls.
“Successive SAD governments carried out unprecedented development in the State, making it power surplus, connecting major cities with four-lane roads, establishing new thermal plants and airports, and overhauling rural infrastructure,” senior party leader Daljit Singh Cheema said after the meeting.
