AAP was in second place in 2017 with 20 seats in the 117-member assembly when the Congress under Capt Amarinder Singh emerged as the single largest party by winning 77 seats.

The then ruling Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-BJP combine suffered a crushing defeat with the SAD getting 15 seats and the BJP just three.
