Mar-05-2026

Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) president Nitish Kumar and BJP national president Nitin Nabin filed his nomination for the upcoming Rajya Sabha (RS) elections. 

The two leaders filed the nomination papers at the Bihar Legislative Assembly in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Deputy CMs Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha were also present when the nominations were filed.

Nitish Kumar earlier in the day said he will be contesting the Rajya Sabha polls, bringing the curtains down on his tenure as the longest-serving CM of Bihar. Kumar has been the chief minister for a record 10 terms since 2005. He expressed gratitude to the people of Bihar for placing their trust in him to serve as the Chief Minister of Bihar for over 2 decades. JD(U) chief also said the new government that will be formed in the state will have his full cooperation and guidance.

For Nabin, who was appointed the BJP president earlier this year, this will be his first stint in Parliament. At present, he is an MLA from the Bankipur Assembly constituency in Bihar.

Filing of nominations for 37 RS seats across ten states will close today.
