Congress Candidates List for Bihar Elections 2025: The Congress Party on Wednesday announced its first list of candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, naming seven nominees, including state Congress chief Rajesh Ram, who will contest from the Kutumba constituency.
With the October 17 deadline for filing nominations for the first phase approaching, the Congress has been racing to finalise its candidates. Party sources said the sub-committee headed by senior leader Ajay Maken met on Wednesday and approved names for eight constituencies, while keeping nine seats on a “pending list” due to unresolved decisions.
The party’s Central Election Committee had, until Tuesday night, cleared candidates for 43 seats. The remaining names are expected to be finalised in the coming days as the Congress seeks to complete its list ahead of the nomination deadline.
