jdu-releases-first-list-of-candidates-for-bihar-polls

The Janata Dal (United) JD(U) on Wednesday released its first list of 57 candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. The list was unveiled following days of internal discussions over seat distribution, which forms part of the wider National Democratic Alliance (NDA) strategy.

 

Among the prominent candidates announced, Anant Singh has been put up from the Mokama constituency, which has been at the centre of recent political debate. Notably, the JD(U) also declared candidates for four seats that had been the domain of Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) in the past, a step seen as a strategic declaration of its dominance in the NDA.

The publication of this first list of candidates is an important milestone in the JD(U)'s election preparations and sets the stage for what is likely to be a very tight contest in the coming elections. Additional information on the full list of candidates is likely to be announced in the days ahead.
