The AIMIM and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) are considering contesting around 150 Assembly seats, with a formal announcement expected in Lucknow on Thursday.

Lucknow: Asaduddin Owaisi and Chandrashekhar Azad are set to join forces for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The two leaders are expected to formally announce the alliance in Lucknow on Thursday, 12 November 2026. The proposed front is looking at contesting around 150 seats, and talks are reported to be underway with other smaller parties.

The alliance would add a third front to a contest largely framed around the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and the Samajwadi Party-led INDIA bloc. Owaisi had previously expressed interest in joining the INDIA bloc in Uttar Pradesh, an overture that Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav declined.

The partnership is expected to seek support among Dalit and Muslim voters, with Azad and Owaisi bringing their respective parties’ campaigns together. Its effect will depend on where it fields candidates and whether it can draw support across both communities in those constituencies. The reported figure of 150 seats is a target ahead of the formal announcement.
