NRI Baldev (Sunny) Singh, nominated as a Liberal Party candidate for South Australia’s Giles seat in the 2026 state elections
He has emerged as a source of pride for his hometown with his nomination as a Liberal Party candidate for South Australia’s Giles seat in the 2026 state elections.

  • An ordinary student who completed his 10+2 education in Ludhiana, Singh’s rise in Australian politics reflects the determination and perseverance of a self-made individual who steadily worked his way forward.
  • He did his schooling from Ludhiana.
  • After moving to Australia in 2008 on a student visa, Singh faced the challenges common to many migrants. He initially worked as a taxi driver while adapting to a new country and culture. Over time, his efforts paid off, and he successfully established his own transport business, managing a sizeable fleet of taxis, tempo travellers, and commercial vehicles. His strong connection with people and understanding of grassroots issues later led him to public service.

Singh currently serves as an elected councillor at the Port Augusta City Council, where he has completed two consecutive terms. Known for his active involvement in community welfare, he has played a key role in promoting multicultural participation and social harmony in the region. A founding member of a local Gurdwara Sahib, Singh has consistently advocated for cultural inclusion while representing residents’ concerns at the civic level.
With his recent nomination, Singh is preparing to take on a larger political role. Drawing from his experience in local governance, he has expressed confidence in his ability to represent the diverse population of the Giles constituency. His family members in Ludhiana, including his parents and sister, continue to follow his journey with pride as he transitions from municipal leadership to contesting a seat in the South Australian State Parliament.
