Hyderabad: The All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) will contest in six seats in the Bihar Assembly elections, party chief Asaduddin Owaisi announced here on Monday.

The AIMIM last month decided to contest elections in Bihar's Seemanchal region which accounts for 24 constituencies. But the party has decided to field only six candidates.

The party's Bihar unit president Akhtarul Imaan will contest from Kocha Daman constituency. The other constituencies and candidates are: Kishangunj/Taseeruddin, Rani Gunj/Amit Paswan, Baisi/Gulam Sarwar, Amour/Nawazish Alam and Balrampur/Md Adil.

Akhtarul Imaan is a former member of the Bihar Assembly. He was earlier with the Janata Dal-United and the Rashtriya Janata Dal. Owaisi said his party would be making a beginning in Bihar by contesting six seats and would try to build on this. He defended his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi's speech at an election meeting in Kishangunj.
