Punjab Elections Result 2022: Sonu Sood's sister Malvika Sood loses from Moga

Congress candidate and Bollywood actor Sonu Sood's sister Malvika Sood has lost from the Moga Assembly seat. 

For the past 40 years, this seat was dominated by Congress. In the elections from 1977 to 2017, the Congress party has won six times from here. In 2017, Harjot Singh won the election. 

It is clear that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is winning by a landslide victory in the state. 

Moga had become a celebrity seat 

Being a stronghold of the ruling Congress party and the fact that Malvika Sood is Sonu Sood's sister, the seat became a celebrity seat. However, this time, Aam Aadmi Party candidate Dr Amandeep Kaur Arora won from the Moga Assembly seat. 

Also as per early trends, many stalwarts from the Congress veterans are lagging. It also includes Navjot Singh Sidhu and Charanjit Singh Channi. Talking about other parties, Akali Dal's Sukhbir Badal and Captain Amarinder Singh are also trailing.
