Bihar elections: AAP announces candidates for 11 seats

Aam Aadmi Party has announced its candidates for the assembly elections in Bihar. AAP has released the first list of 11 candidates in Bihar, which has 243 assembly seats. The unexpected announcement of candidates came just before the press conference called by the Election Commission to announce the elections.

In Begusarai, Dr. Meera Singh, Bhanu Bharatiya from Kasba in Purnia district, Arun Kumar Rajak from Phulwari in Patna, Pankaj Kumar from Bankipur, Ashok Kumar Singh from Govindganj in Motihari, Retd. Capt. Dharmaraj Singh from Buxar and Amit Kumar Singh from Taraiya are the candidates who will contest.

This is the first time that AAP is contesting on its own in Bihar. The party had announced in July that it would contest the elections. Although the party was part of the All India Alliance in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Aam Aadmi Party's national convener Arvind Kejriwal directly announced that his party would contest the Bihar elections alone.
