AIMIM names 25 candidates for Bihar Assembly polls; party positions itself as alternative amid seat-sharing tussles. Polling Nov 6 & Nov 11; counting Nov 14.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on Sunday released a list of 25 candidates for the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections, signalling an expanded push in the state ahead of polling on November 6 and November 11. The party posted the announcement on its social channels and said it aims to be “a voice of justice for Bihar’s weakest and most neglected,” positioning itself as a distinct alternative to both the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan.
AIMIM’s candidate slate is part of a broader strategy to contest pockets with sizeable Muslim and marginalised populations, while also testing its appeal in mixed-seat constituencies. Observers say the move could fragment traditional vote banks and force major alliances to recalibrate local seat strategies. Analysts point to AIMIM’s recent efforts to build a third-front narrative by aligning with smaller regional outfits in some districts.
For voters and political watchers, immediate takeaways include where AIMIM has fielded its nominees, whether they are local leaders or party parachute candidates, and what this means for close three-way contests.
