The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and the Azad Samaj Party (ASP) have officially allied for the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
Named the Samajik Parivartan Morcha (SPM), the coalition aims to present a strong political alternative in the state.
Addressing a press conference in Lucknow on Thursday, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi announced that ASP chief Chandra Shekhar Azad has been chosen as the alliance’s chief minister candidate. Calling the coalition an initiative built on “political and intellectual honesty,” Owaisi expressed confidence in their united front.
“I am happy to announce our CM candidate as Chandra Shekhar Azad,” Owaisi told reporters.
Both leaders highlighted the collective vision of the new front and announced a major public rally scheduled for November 26 to kickstart their campaign momentum.
The partnership brings together two prominent regional leaders, signalling a notable shift in the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh as parties begin strategising well ahead of the crucial assembly polls.
