In a multi-cornered fight, the ruling Congress is facing a tough challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Akali Dal-BSP combine. The BJP has allied with former chief minister Amarinder Singh’s Punjab Lok Congress.

The Congress has named current chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi as the presumptive chief minister while Bhagwant Mann is AAP's CM face – chosen through a televote.

Charanjit Singh Channi is the first Dalit CM in the state with one-third of the population from the community. The ruling party, however, has been grappling with infighting over the last one year.

Former chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, who had an acrimonious exit from the Congress last year, formed his party the Punjab Lok Congress (PLC) which is fighting in alliance with the BJP and the Shiromani Akal Dal (Sanyukt). The BJP is counting on Amarinder Singh, say analysts, to expand its base in the state.

Meanwhile, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has allied with Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

The issues that dominate this year's election include state of the economy, employment, agriculture, drug problem, incidents of sacrilege and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security breach in Ferozpur on January 5.

The last date of filing the nomination was January 28.

The counting of votes in Punjab will take place on March 10.
