Chirag Paswan won the Jamui seat in the 2014 elections for the Lok Janshakti Party and also retained it in 2019. However, for the upcoming Lok Sabha Election 2024 he fielded his brother-in-law, Arun Bhati, from the Jamui seat. He earlier said that he would contest from Hajipur, a constituency held by his father, Ram Vilas Paswan, for eight terms.

As a constituent of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) (RV) was assigned five seats to contest out of the total 40 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would contest 17 seats, while Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) (JD (U)) would contest 16 seats. The remaining two allies, Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha, would each stand in one seat. However, Chirag Paswan has yet to announce the names of party candidates for the remaining three seats.
