SGPC Presidential Election Set For November 20 Amidst Shifting Punjab Political Alliances

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is set to hold its presidential election on November 20. The contest features incumbent president Harjinder Singh Dhami seeking re-election against former president Bibi Jagir Kaur, who is preparing for a political comeback. Bibi Jagir Kaur, the first woman to lead the body, previously served three terms between 1999 and 2021. She is expected to rejoin the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) on November 13, following a meeting with party president Sukhbir Singh Badal. This move marks a significant shift in the internal dynamics of the organization. These elections serve as a <b>crucial test</b> for the Akali Dal's influence ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly polls.
