JDU and BJP are contesting 101 seats each in the election to the 243-member Bihar Assembly. The remaining seats are divided between Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha and Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha.

JD(U)'s list comes a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party released the name of 71 candidates.

JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha had said the party will release its first list of candidates by Wednesday afternoon, followed by the second list in a couple of days

According to sources, the Congress had initially asked for 70 seats, the same number as they had fought in the 2020 Assembly elections. Arguing that the number of constituents in Mahagatbandhan has increased and therefore the 2020 formula can not be implemented in this election, the RJD has offered Congress a lesser tally.

Polls for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly are set to take place on November 6 and November 11, and the counting of votes will be held on November 14

According to reports, Paswan's threat to contest all 243 seats may have impacted the math, proving to be a crucial bargaining chip ahead of the elections.
