In these elections -Bhagwant Mann (AAP),Charanjit Singh Channi (Congress), Sukhbir Singh Badal (SAD) are the chief minister face of their parties. BJP-PLC-SAD (S) alliance has not announced their chief minister face, as they are fighting their elections under brand ‘Modi’.

Former chief minister and Punjab Lok Congress president Capt Amarinder Singh is fighting his last political battle from Patiala (urban). He had already announced that he will merge his party into the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) in future, after the polls.

Speculations are rife that after the polls, Cat Amarinder Singh will leave the seat (if he won it) and get some gubernatorial post in centre, courtesy NDA government. In that case Patiala (urban) will see a by-election in near future.
