JD(U) Candidate List for Bihar Election 2025: The Janata Dal (United) on Wednesday announced its first list of candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
The Nitish Kumar-led ruling party named 57 candidates, with MP Sanjay Kumar Jha announcing that the Chief Minister will kick off the poll campaign Thursday. In its first list, the party named former minister Santosh Kumar Nirala, who was “unilaterally” named by party chief Nitish Kumar early September during a party meeting in Buxar. Nirala, 51, will contest the Assembly polls from the Rajpur seat, a Scheduled Caste (SC)-reserved constituency.
Former MLA Anant Singh will contest the Mokama seat, which he won five times. He was disqualified from the seat after his disqualification. The seat then went to his wife Nilam Devi in the 2022 bypolls.
The announcement comes after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) finalised seat-sharing for the 2025 Bihar polls last week, with BJP and JD(U) getting 101 seats each. LJP(R) has been allocated 29 seats while RLM and HAM will get 6 seats each in polls to 243 member assembly.
The first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections will take place on November 6, with the second phase of voting on November 11. More than 7.4 crore electors of the state will cast their votes. The counting of votes will take place on November 14.
