Former Bihar CM Jitan Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM)​ has released it first list of 13 candidates for contesting the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Manjhi will contest from Makhdumpur constituency. HAM will contest the polls in alliance with NDA. 

Days after sulking over seat- sharing formulae, NDA ally LJP on Friday declared its first list of 12 candidates for Bihar polls, which has names of Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan's brother and nephew. The Union Minister's brother Pashupati Kumar Paras, who is the Bihar state chief of the party, has been fielded from the reserved Alouli assembly seat. Prince Raj, the son of LJP chief's brother and Lok Sabha MP Ram Chandra Paswan, makes his debut from another reserved constituencey Kalyanpur.

There was a feeling in the party that HAM and RLSP of Union minister Upendra Kushwaha had got a "better deal" which was disproportionate to their political strength in the state.

Manjhi's outfit Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) was given 20 seats as part of the seat-sharing pact. Some of its leaders will also contest on BJP symbol. Manjhi was earlier offered 13-15 of the state's 243 assembly seats, which was increased to 20 after he dug in his heels.
