 Punjab has traditionally voted [[anti-incumbency]] in assembly elections. The incumbent government is an alliance of the [[Shiromani Akali Dal]] and the Bharatiya Janta Party under Chief Minister [[Parkash Singh Badal]]. The opposition Indian National Congress contested the election under the leadership of former Chief Minister Captain [[Amarinder Singh]]. The governance of the ruling coalition was the main election issue, besides the issue of the potential succession of the chief minister's son, [[Sukhbir Singh Badal]].<ref>[http://www.punjabnewsline.com/content/sad-need-defy-history-and-anti-incumbency-win-january-assembly-elections/34872 SAD need to defy history and anti-incumbency to win January assembly elections @ www.punjabnewsline.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120108012519/http://www.punjabnewsline.com/content/sad-need-defy-history-and-anti-incumbency-win-january-assembly-elections/34872 |date=8 January 2012 }}.
