The Punjab Legislative Assembly speaker has formally accepted the resignation of MLA Jouramajra, lowering the Aam Aadmi Party’s strength to 91 members.
The speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly announced the official acceptance of MLA Jouramajra’s resignation. The procedural step was recorded in the assembly’s proceedings, confirming that the member will vacate his seat.
With the resignation processed, the Aam Aadmi Party’s representation in the state assembly drops to 91 legislators. The reduction alters the party’s numerical strength but does not affect its majority status.

Political analysts note that while the AAP retains control of the house, the loss underscores the fluid nature of legislative numbers in Punjab’s dynamic political landscape.
