|October 17, 2025
The Congress released its first list of 48 candidates for the Bihar assembly elections on Thursday night — just hours before the deadline for filing of nominations for the first-phase polling comes to an end — fielding its state party chief Rajesh Ram from Kutumba assembly constituency and state legislature party leader Shakeel ‘Ahmad Khan from Kadwa seat.

The announcement came even before a final seat-sharing arrangement within the Opposition grand alliance has been finalised amid hectic parleys among the allies. Though the grand old party has announced 48 candidates in its first list, it remains unclear how many seats it will contest as part of the Rashtriya Janata Dal-led Mahagathbandhan. In 2020 polls, the Congress had contested 70 seats and won only 19.
The Congress fielded Jayesh Mangal Singh from Bagaha, Abhishek Ranjan from Chanpatia, ‘Amit Giri from Nautan, Shyam Bihari Prasad from Raxaul, Wasi ‘Ahmed from Bettiah seat. The party also named Shashi Bhushan Rai and Amit Kumar Singh Tunna as its candidates from Govindgan and Riga, respectively.
