Recommended Size: 21–31 Members

21–31 is the recommended total strength of the Punjab State Committee. It does not mean that every position must have only one office-bearer. The final composition — including the number of Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Spokespersons, Wing Heads, executive members, and other authorized members — will be determined according to TPP’s constitution and the decision of the authorized selection committee.

Multiple office-bearers are allowed only where permitted by TPP’s constitution or an authorized resolution. Submitting a nomination creates no entitlement to any position.

Important: A position on the Punjab State Committee is an internal organizational position within TPP and is not a government or constitutional office. Submitting a person’s name does not guarantee appointment, interview, or selection. Final selection will be based on TPP’s constitution, merit, verification, organizational requirements, feedback from district units and members, and the decision of the party’s authorized selection committee.

I will remain accountable for party decisions, finances, and my performance to the party’s constitutional structure, its members, and the people of Punjab.”

“No Punjab State Committee position will be awarded on the basis of money, family connections, recommendations, caste influence, factionalism, or personal access. Selection will be based on integrity, merit, experience, public service, relevant skills, organizational ability, commitment to Punjab, and the trust of the people and party members.”
