Pune: AAP Extends Support To Independent Candidate Nazia Sameer Punjabi From Ward 19 Kondhwa Khurd Kausarbaug
Pune, January 12, 2026: As the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections draw closer, independent candidate Nazia Sameer Punjabi has emerged as a prominent contender from Ward No. 19(B), which includes Kondhwa Khurd and Kausar Baug. Strengthening her campaign further, candidates of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have announced their full and unconditional support to Punjabi in this crucial ward.
Punjabi’s campaign is built on the core belief that effective local governance must begin with transparency, accountability, and a genuine understanding of citizens’ everyday problems. Emphasising people-centric administration, she has consistently highlighted the need for accessible and responsive civic systems that directly address ground-level issues faced by residents.
With a clear focus on holistic and inclusive development, Nazia Sameer Punjabi aims to resolve several long-pending civic concerns in the ward. These include improving basic infrastructure, strengthening sanitation and cleanliness systems, ensuring better water supply management, addressing traffic and safety concerns, and enhancing public amenities for residents across all sections of society. She has also stressed the importance of sustainable development that balances urban growth with environmental responsibility.
The Aam Aadmi Party’s decision to back an independent candidate in Ward 19 reflects a shared vision of clean politics, transparent governance, and citizen-first development. Party representatives stated that their support is based on Punjabi’s credibility, grassroots connect, and commitment to public service, rather than political affiliation alone.
Residents of Kondhwa Khurd and Kausar Baug have responded positively to this alliance, viewing it as an opportunity for issue-based politics and cooperative leadership focused on real solutions. Political observers believe that AAP’s unconditional support could significantly strengthen Punjabi’s position in what is expected to be a closely watched contest.
As campaigning intensifies, Nazia Sameer Punjabi has reiterated her commitment to work with all stakeholders, civil society groups, and residents to ensure that Ward 19 witnesses inclusive growth, accountable governance, and sustainable civic development in the coming PMC term.
