Overview

  • The Bihar BJP chief said the alliance’s seat-sharing will be announced over the weekend, with a joint reveal expected in Patna.
  • Party sources say the BJP Central Election Committee, chaired by the Prime Minister, meets Sunday to clear candidates, with the first list likely soon after.
  • Chirag Paswan’s LJP (Ram Vilas) termed talks with the BJP “positive” after scaling demands to a fresh list of 35 seats, as the BJP signalled about 25 and discussed specific constituencies.
  • RJD–Congress negotiations remain unresolved over five seats — Baisi, Bahadurganj, Raniganj, Kahalgaon and Saharsa — as Congress also pushes for a larger overall share.
  • The CPM named two candidates and Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj released 51 names, reflecting growing timeline pressure as nominations for the two-phase November 6 and 11 polls open.
