New Delhi, September 21, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said his party will announce its alliance decision for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections by October 2, while stating that the party is preparing to contest the polls and expand its political presence in the state.
Speaking to the media, Owaisi said AIMIM was fully prepared for the elections and expressed hope that its candidates would win seats in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
“We will announce whom we will form an alliance with by October 2,” Owaisi said.
He said the party’s electoral efforts were aimed at strengthening political representation and agency for Muslims in Uttar Pradesh. Owaisi argued that leadership from within the community should have a greater role in electoral politics.
“We are fully prepared and making preparations, and we hope that this time, God-willing our candidates will win and enter the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly,” he said.
“Our effort is to ensure that the large number of Muslims living here have political agency and that leadership emerges from within the community. Every community here has its own political leadership, but such a large community has been completely sidelined politically,” he added.
Owaisi also pitched for greater coordination among Opposition parties, saying that no single political entity could stop the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alone. He said Opposition parties should consider working together.
The AIMIM chief had made similar remarks at a rally in Kanpur, where he spoke about the party’s preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections and its efforts to build a stronger organisational and political presence in the state.
AIMIM has indicated that it is open to an alliance with “like-minded” political groups. Owaisi has previously said that the party is seeking an alliance in Uttar Pradesh, although the parties involved and any seat-sharing arrangement have not been announced.
With the October 2 deadline now set, AIMIM’s position on potential electoral partnerships is expected to become clearer as political parties step up preparations for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
