The Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM on Sunday announced its first list of 25 candidates for the Bihar Assembly elections, including two leaders from the Hindu community.
“We are happy to announce the list of AIMIM candidates for upcoming Bihar elections. The candidates were finalised by AIMIM’s Bihar unit, in consultation with the party’s national leadership. Inshallah, we will be a voice of justice for Bihar’s weakest and most neglected,” the party said in a post on X.
The party’s lone MLA and state unit chief, Akhtarul Alam, has been renominated from Amour, while former Bihar minister and ex-Begusarai MP Munazir Hasan will contest from Munger. Former four-time MLA Tauseef Alam will fight from the Bahadurganj seat. The two non-Muslim candidates are Rana Ranjit Singh, son of former MP Sitaram
