Bihar assembly election 2025: Ending suspense, Lalu Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Monday announced its list of 143 candidates for the upcoming Bihar election. The biggest party in the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, the RJD has made the candidate list public, fielding Tejashwi Yadav from Raghopur in Vaishali district.

The list comes after Congress, in its three lists, declared names of 60 candidates for election. Several other parties like CPI and CPI-ML have already announced the candidates, while no formal seat-sharing deal has been shared with the people.

Today (Oct 20) is the last date of nomination for the second phase of polling. Bihar will vote on Nov 6 and 11, and the results will be announced on Nov 14.
