By News National Editorial Team

Lucknow, November 12, 2026: In a significant political development ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) President Chandrashekhar Azad have announced a political alliance under the name Samajik Parivartan Morcha (SPM).

The announcement was made during a joint press conference in Lucknow on Thursday, November 12, marking the formation of a new political platform ahead of the upcoming state elections.

Chandrashekhar Azad Named Chief Ministerial Candidate

One of the major announcements was the selection of Chandrashekhar Azad as the alliance's Chief Ministerial candidate for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Asaduddin Owaisi announced his support for Azad's leadership and said both parties would work together to strengthen the alliance and pursue their political objectives.

The announcement places Chandrashekhar Azad at the centre of the newly formed political partnership, bringing together his Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) and Owaisi's AIMIM.

Alliance Plans to Contest All 403 Assembly Seats

According to announcements made by the leaders, the Samajik Parivartan Morcha plans to contest all 403 Assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh.

The alliance aims to establish a political platform representing Dalits, Muslims, backward communities and other socially marginalised sections.

Owaisi said the alliance would seek to prevent the BJP from returning to power for a third consecutive term in Uttar Pradesh.

He also criticised established political parties for allegedly treating disadvantaged communities as vote banks rather than adequately addressing their concerns.

Education, Unemployment and Farmers Among Key Issues

During the press conference, the leaders highlighted several issues they intend to raise ahead of the elections.

These include:

• Education: Concerns about the condition and accessibility of education.

• Youth unemployment: Employment opportunities and the future of young people.

• Farmers' welfare: Problems affecting farmers and the agricultural sector.

• Social justice: Issues affecting Dalits, backward communities and marginalised sections.

• Economic inequality: Concerns surrounding poverty and social discrimination.

The alliance has presented these issues as central to its proposed political agenda.

Invitation to Other Opposition Parties

Owaisi indicated that the alliance would remain open to cooperation with other political parties, including the Samajwadi Party and Congress, if they wished to support its electoral objective.

Chandrashekhar Azad also rejected criticism that the new alliance would function as the BJP's B-team. He questioned the political arguments used against parties that choose to contest elections independently or form separate alliances.

The remarks came amid wider political discussions over opposition unity and electoral strategies ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.

A New Political Equation in Uttar Pradesh

The formation of the Samajik Parivartan Morcha introduces another political alliance into Uttar Pradesh's evolving electoral landscape.

The state's 403 Assembly constituencies make it one of India's most politically significant electoral battlegrounds. The new partnership will seek to expand its support base through cooperation between the two parties and outreach to other communities and organisations.

Whether the alliance can translate its announced objectives into electoral support will become clearer as its organisational structure, candidates, campaign strategy and policy commitments develop.

For now, the joint announcement by Asaduddin Owaisi and Chandrashekhar Azad marks a notable development in preparations for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
