The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won 20 seats in the Punjab assembly, came second in 26 constituencies, while over two dozen AAP candidates lost their security deposit.
AAP ally Lok Insaaf Party won another two seats.
In Sujanpur, the party was at the fifth place after the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Congress, an independent and the Revolutionary Marxist Party of India.
During the election campaign, and even after the 4 February balloting, AAP leaders had claimed that the party was confident of winning up to 100 of the 117 seats.
At least 25 AAP candidates failed to secure even a sixth of the valid votes cast in their constituencies and forfeited their security deposit.
The BJP, the Akali ally, got just three seats with five percent vote share.
