Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa, popularly known as ‘Principal’, has been announced as the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) candidate for the upcoming Tarn Taran by-election.
The seat fell vacant following the death of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Dr Kashmir Singh Sohal last month. The Election Commission is yet to announce the polling schedule.

Chabal holds historical significance as the native village of Sarmukh Singh Chabal, the first president of SAD following the formation of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) in 1920.
Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa has been active in the region’s political landscape for over a year as the head of the ‘Azad Group’.
