With the last date for withdrawal of nominations over for the second phase of the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, all candidates’ names are now finalized. In a notable development, the INDIA Alliance’s parties are contesting against each other on 12 seats, creating so-called “friendly fights.” Initially, a total of 15 seats had candidates from India Alliance parties running against each other. Speculation had suggested that the seat-sharing details might be revealed during a Mahagathbandhan press conference on Thursday, but no announcement was made.
