Overview

  • The NDA formula allocates 101 seats each to the BJP and JD(U), 29 to LJP(R), and six each to RLM and HAM, as announced by Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan and confirmed by JD(U) leader Sanjay Kumar Jha.
  • Parity between BJP and JD(U) marks a departure from 2020, when JD(U) contested more seats, reflecting the alliance’s recalibration with Chirag Paswan’s party in the fold.
  • The BJP’s Central Election Committee is meeting today to finalize and release its candidate list, moving the alliance from seat allocation to candidate selection.
  • The opposition INDIA bloc has yet to unveil its seat-sharing plan, with RJD–Congress talks continuing in Delhi and party leaders indicating an announcement could come this week.
  • High-visibility local contests are taking shape, with Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party signaling he may challenge Tejashwi Yadav in Raghopur, as nominations for phase one close on October 17 and voting is set for November 6 and 11 with counting on November 14.
