RJD, JD(U), and Jan Suraaj Party Prepare for Bihar Legislative Council Elections
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and ruling Janata Dal (United) are preparing for elections to eight Bihar Legislative Council seats, split evenly between Teachers and Graduates constituencies. The newly formed Jan Suraaj Party led by Prashant Kishor will contest all seats. RJD has announced six candidates but faces internal criticism from Rohini Acharya over candidate selection. The Election Commission is expected to announce election dates by late September, with terms expiring in November 2026.
