In the election, the AAP decimated all political parties, including the Shiromani Akali Dal, the BJP, and Congress.

On a question on government formation, he said, "Let me go to Delhi, first meet our founder of the party, then I will be in Punjab to do development works. Our legislators are honest, and we do need to keep them in resorts, "he said, adding that he will be meeting the governor tomorrow and will seek his time for the oath-taking ceremony.

In his first speech after victory, Mann said the oath-taking ceremony would be held at Khatkar Kalan, the ancestral village of legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in Nawanshahr district.

He claimed that the people of Punjab had defeated the arrogant people and blessed the Aam Aadmi Party.

Several stalwarts, including chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi, who contested elections from two Assembly seats, tasted defeat. AAP candidates defeated SAD chief Parkash Singh Badal, former CM Amarinder Singh, and PCC chief Navjot Sidhu.
