The three MLAs in the list are Nizanur Rahman, who seeks to retain the Gauripur constituency, Aminul Islam, shifted from Dhing to the Rupahihat seat, and Rafiqul Islam, named from Mandia after Jania, the constituency he represents, ceased to exist after the 2023 delimitation exercise.
Former Congress MLA Abu Taher Bepari, who joined the AIUDF in 2025, will contest from Parbatjhora. He had finished second behind Mr. Ajmal in the Dhubri Lok Sabha constituency in 2014 and 2019.
