Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi is contesting the Punjab Assembly election from two constituencies- Chamkaur Sahib in the state’s Rup Nagar district and Bhadaur in Barnala district.


Charanjit Singh Channi took oath as the Chief Minister of Punjab on 20 September, 2021 following the exit of Captain Amarinder Singh. He is the first Dalit Chief Minister of Punjab. According to political pundits, large Dalit population in Punjab may have influenced Congress's decision to appoint Charanjit Singh Channi as the state’s Chief Minister.
