Additionally, AAP released its fourth list of 21 candidates for the Haryana Assembly elections. The party has now declared 61 candidates for the 90-member assembly.

The new candidates include Raj Kaur Gill from Ambala Cantonment, Lalit Tyagi from Yamunanagar, Joga Singh from Ladwa, Satbir Goyat from Kithal, Sunil Bindal from Karnal, and Sukhbir Malik from Painpat Rural. Other candidates are Saroj Bala Rathi from Ganaur, Devender Gautam from Sonipat, Shiv Kumar Rangeela from Gohana, Sandeep Malik from Baroda, Kavita Dalal from Julana, Nisha Deshwal from Safidon, Sukhwinder Singh Gill from Tohana, Jasdev Nikka from Kalanwali, Sham Mehta from Sirsa, Narender Uklana from Uklana, Rajiv Pali from Narnaund, and Rajender Sorkhi from Hansi.

AAP leader Manish Sisodia attended a nomination rally for Anurag Dhanda, the party's candidate for the Kalayat seat. Sisodia expressed confidence in AAP's victory, stating, "People are upset with the 10-year rule of BJP in Haryana and they want to free Haryana from the BJP. AAP will form the government here and work will be done on the guarantee of Arvind Kejriwal." He added, "Our main fight is with corruption, anti-school politics, anti-hospital politics, and politics that took away job opportunities."

Despite seat-sharing discussions, AAP and Congress have not reached an agreement. The deadline for filing nominations is September 12. Voting for the 90-member Haryana legislative assembly is scheduled for October 5, with results to be counted on October 8 alongside those in Jammu and Kashmir.
