SAD Core Committee Backs Sukhbir Singh Badal Amid Calls for Leadership Change Post-Lok Sabha Election Defeat

Amid increasing calls for a leadership overhaul following the dismal performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) core committee convened on Thursday to conduct a thorough analysis of their electoral defeat and reaffirmed its confidence in Sukhbir Singh Badal’s leadership. The meeting, which commenced at 3 pm and continued until 9:30 pm, featured an in-depth discussion on the prevailing political situation in Punjab and a critical introspection of the party’s recent electoral performance. Despite the SAD securing only the Bathinda parliamentary constituency out of 13 seats and witnessing a drastic decline in vote share from 27.45% in 2019 to 13.42% in 2024, senior leaders voiced their support for Badal. In an open letter, SAD leader Charanjit Singh Brar suggested the formation of a committee dedicated to the party’s broader interests. This proposal underscores the need for strategic introspection and adaptation to regain the party’s footing in Punjab politics. Moving forward, Sukhbir Singh Badal plans to seek suggestions from party leaders, both individually and collectively, to shape the party’s future agenda and strategy. SAD senior leader Daljit Singh Cheema emphasized that the meeting was conducted in a cordial atmosphere, reflecting the unified stance of the core committee despite the electoral setbacks. The party’s resolve to back Badal and the proposed formation of a new committee highlight an ongoing effort to address internal challenges and recalibrate their approach in Punjab’s dynamic political landscape. The repercussions of this support will be critical as the SAD attempts to rebuild and strengthen its influence ahead of future elections.
