Harmeet Singh Sandhu, AAP's winning candidate, attributed his victory to the party's policies and leadership. He promised to end gangsterism, fulfill campaign promises like a girls' college and a flyover, and address the constituency's development needs. Sandhu accused opponents of intimidation and misuse of religious funds.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) saw a positive outcome in the Tarn Taran bypoll, finishing second despite losing the seat to AAP. This is seen as a sign of resurgence for the party, particularly after a period of restrictions on its leader. The election also indicated a consolidation of Panthic votes and rejection of other religious and national parties.

The win may not be indicative of the outcome in the next 2027 elections due in 15 months
