Overview

  • Allies announced a 243-seat formula: BJP 101, JD(U) 101, LJP(RV) 29, RLM 6 and HAM(S) 6, with leaders publicising the pact on X after days of Delhi–Patna meetings.
  • The parity between BJP and JD(U) marks a change from 2020, when JD(U) contested 115 and BJP 110, reflecting new arithmetic with Chirag Paswan’s party inside the alliance.
  • LJP(RV) settled for 29 seats after seeking 40, and HAM(S) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi said he accepted six seats even as he suggested his party had been undervalued.
  • INDIA bloc partners have not finalised their distribution, with RJD’s Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav in Delhi for consultations and Congress signaling a resolution within days.
  • With phase-one nominations closing October 17, the NDA is preparing to release its first candidate list as early as October 13, ahead of polling on November 6 and 11 and counting on November 14.
