All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi kickstarted his campaign for the Bihar assembly elections in the state's Seemanchal region, on his own, amid no clarity over his party's tie-up with the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
In the 2020 elections, the AIMIM contested 19 assembly constituencies and won five, all in the Seemanchal region which has a sizeable Muslim population. The region comprises the districts of Purnea, Katihar, Kishanganj, and Araria. In the Lok Sabha elections, the AIMIM contested 15 seats in Bihar but failed to win any.
