The Hindustan Awam Morcha (Secular) on Tuesday announced a list of six candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, four of whom are sitting MLAs.
According to the list, sitting MLA Deepa Kumari will contest from the Imamganj seat, while sitting MLA Anil Kumar will contest from the Tikari seat. Sitting MLA Jyoti Devi will contest from Barachatti, and sitting MLA Prafull Kumar Manjhi will contest from the Sikandara seat.
The HAM(S) has fielded Romit Kumar from the Atri Assembly constituency, while Lalan Ram has been named the party’s candidate from the Kutumba Assembly constituency. The Kutumba seat is currently held by Bihar Congress chief Rajesh Ram.
HAM(S) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi announced the list in a post on X, captioning it, “May you be victorious (Vijayi Bhava).”
Manjhi had earlier expressed disappointment with the seat-sharing arrangement within the NDA, saying that his party had demanded 15 seats but had been allocated only six. However, he maintained that he would not oppose the alliance’s decision.
He said, “We demanded 15 seats but we were given only six seats. We are upset, but we will not oppose the NDA’s decision. We will move forward with whatever we have got, and we thank PM Modi for this.”
The ruling NDA had declared seat distribution among its constituents on Sunday. The BJP and JD(U) will contest 101 seats each, the LJP (Ram Vilas) 29 seats, and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) six seats each.
