Patna, October 12 (Daily Kiran): The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar has officially announced its seat-sharing formula for the upcoming Assembly elections. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will contest an equal number of seats — 101 each. Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) has been allotted 29 seats, while Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha and Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha have been given six seats each.
After several rounds of discussions among the alliance partners, the formula was finalized and announced on Sunday. Interestingly, the NDA did not hold a joint press conference for the declaration. Instead, leaders from the constituent parties shared the seat distribution details on social media. JDU working president Sanjay Jha, RLM chief Upendra Kushwaha, Union Minister Chirag Paswan, and Bihar BJP president Dilip Jaiswal were among those who confirmed the arrangement through their posts.
With the seat-sharing now finalized, NDA allies are expected to release their respective candidate lists shortly. According to reports, the BJP has nearly finalized its candidates, and the Central Election Committee meeting in Delhi on Sunday evening is expected to give formal approval. The JDU, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has also completed its internal candidate selection process. The LJP (Ram Vilas) has indicated that its list will be released soon after the NDA announcement.
