Addressing reporters in Haridwar, Paswan mentioned that the Uttarakhand party unit has requested the leadership to field candidates in the 2027 Assembly elections, but the central leadership has yet to make a final decision.

“Our preparations for the Uttar Pradesh elections have formally begun. Preparations for the Punjab Assembly elections will also start formally this month,” he said.

He added that the Uttarakhand state unit’s proposal to contest the Assembly elections will be forwarded to the party’s central parliamentary board for consideration.

“The state unit has expressed its desire that the party should contest the 2027 Uttarakhand Assembly elections. However, no formal decision has been taken so far. The proposal will be sent to the central parliamentary board, in-charges will be appointed, and a final decision will be taken,” Paswan said.

The party chief indicated that a final decision on the matter is expected within a month.

“As we are contesting the elections in Uttar Pradesh, we are also considering contesting in Uttarakhand. A final decision in this regard will be taken within a month,” he added.
