As the Indian political landscape evolves, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) emerges as a formidable contender in the Lok Sabha elections. Founded on the principles of anti-corruption and grassroots activism, AAP has garnered attention for its unique approach to politics since its inception in 2012.

AAP's performance in the Lok Sabha elections has been a subject of keen interest and speculation. While the party made a significant impact in the 2014 elections, winning four seats in Punjab, its performance in subsequent elections has been more modest.
Unlike the Lok Sabha elections 2014, the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the AAP decided to contest elections on limited seats in some of the states and all the seats in Delhi, Goa, and Punjab. In the state of Haryana, the AAP formed an alliance with Dushyant Chautala's Jannayak Janata Party to contest three Lok Sabha constituencies. The PAC also decided to support and campaign for CPI (M) in Kerala. The party also fielded its candidate from Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh. The AAP won only 1 constituency of Sangrur in Punjab.
As AAP gears up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the party faces the challenge of expanding its electoral base beyond its traditional strongholds and presenting a compelling alternative to voters disillusioned with mainstream politics. AAP's ability to harness grassroots support and mobilize voters will be crucial in determining its success in the upcoming elections.
After Delhi and Haryana, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) unveiled its initial lineup of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 in Punjab, marking a significant move by putting forward five of its Cabinet ministers for key constituencies.

Voting for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be held in seven phases beginning April 19 and ending June 1. The counting of polls will be held on June 4.
