AIUDF general secretary Aminul Islam has stated that talks are underway over the seat-sharing among the Congress-led Mahajut alliance and the list of candidates will likely be released by Sunday evening.

Islam also clarified rumours of the alliance breaking up. "Congress has never spoken about breaking up the alliance, the alliance will continue," Islam asserted.

Furthermore, Islam said that the Congress-led Mahajut would welcome former Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta to join the alliance.
