In the 2014 general election, Aam Aadmi Party fielded 434 candidates from Punjab. The intention of the party leaders was to field candidates in large numbers to maximise the likelihood of recognition as a national party by the Election Commission. The outcome was that 4 AAP candidates won, all from Punjab. Consequently, AAP became a recognised state party in Punjab. The party obtained 2% of all votes cast nationwide and 414 of its candidates forfeited their deposit by failing to secure one-sixth of the vote in their constituencies. Although the party secured 32.9 per cent of the votes in Delhi, it failed to win any seats there.
