Jan Suraaj Party Candidate List for Bihar Assembly Election 2025: The Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), led by political strategist-turned-activist Prashant Kishor, announced its first list of 51 candidates on Thursday for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. However, it did not confirm whether party founder Kishor would contest the elections. At a press conference, party national president Udai Singh said Kishor is set to launch the election campaign on October 11 from Raghopur, the constituency represented by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. “We will soon release another list of candidates. If Kishor Ji’s name figures in it, then he will be contesting. That much is clear,” Singh said. The list has several professionals, including retired bureaucrats, lawyers, doctors, academics, and social workers, in line with Kishor's promise that the JSP would favour such names. Of the 51 candidates, 11 are from backward classes, 17 from extremely backward classes, nine from minority communities, and the rest belong to the general category. Some notable names are respected academician K C Sinha, who will contest from Kumhrarin Patna, Bhojpuri singer Ritesh Ranjan Pandey, who will contest from Kargahar, and Pritti Kinnar, representing the third gender community, from Bhorey constituency in Gopalganj. The JSP is the first party to announce candidates for Bihar after the Election Commission announced November 6 and 11 as voting dates. The party is expected to release more names in the coming days.
