The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday announced its fourth list of 12 candidates for the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections, taking its total to 132 seats.
The fourth list includes Kumar Kunal for the Madhuban constituency, Brij Bhushan (Navin) for Sapaul, and Anil Kumar for Gaya Town.
Earlier, on October 18, the party had released its third list, comprising 50 candidates. The AAP is contesting the Bihar polls independently, without forming any alliances.
Polling for all 243 assembly seats in Bihar is scheduled in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results to be declared on November 14.
Meanwhile, the opposition Mahagathbandhan has yet to announce a seat-sharing agreement, highlighting confusion and internal disputes within the alliance.

The last date to file nominations for the second phase of the Bihar Assembly election is Monday, October 20. It also marks the final date for withdrawal of nominations for the first phase, covering 121 constituencies.
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has confirmed it will contest the Bihar elections independently after the Mahagathbandhan, which includes the RJD and Congress, failed to finalise a seat-sharing pact for the first phase. The nomination process for these seats concluded on Friday.
The Congress party, amid ongoing Mahagathbandhan tensions, released its second list of candidates on Saturday. Its first list of 48 candidates was announced on October 17.
The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has already shared its seat distribution and started groundwork across key constituencies. The BJP has announced candidates for all 101 seats allotted under the NDA arrangement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to launch his election campaign from October 24.
