AIMIM is planning to contest around 100 seats in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, five times the number it had fought in the last elections. "Both the NDA and the 'Mahagathbandhan' (I.N.D.I.A bloc in Bihar) will be forced to realise our presence," AIMIM's Bihar president Akhtarul Iman said. He added that AIMIM will create a third front in the elections.
