Bhagwant Mann has been named Aam Aadmi Party Chief Ministerial face for Punjab Assembly Election 2022. Calling it ‘a historic moment,’ party convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal made the announcement and said that at least 93 percent of people had voted for the Sangrur MP.
48 years old Mann is a two-time MP from Sangrur and is the party’s state unit chief. The AAP has received around 22 lakh responses under its campaign to elect its CM face for the Assembly polls, a party leader said. Kejriwal had on January 13 asked the people of Punjab to suggest names of their preferred chief ministerial candidates and launched a mobile number for the purpose under ‘Janta Chunegi Apna CM’ drive.
