Nitish bets on fresh faces, loyalists in JD-U candidate list for Bihar polls
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|October 16, 2025
Bihar’s ruling Janata Dal (United) on Wednesday announced 57 candidates in its first list for the upcoming assembly elections.
The party has dropped several sitting MLAs and introduced 30 new faces. Among the 27 candidates renominated are the party’s loyal and long-serving leaders, including five ministers.
Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar's decision to introduce 30 fresh faces is seen as a strategic move to counter anti-incumbency. The party has also given ample opportunity to youth. In a surprising move, it has fielded only four women candidates.
