Owaisi took the decision after consultation with the party from Maharashtra. "Imtiaz Jaleel will be AIMIM's candidate for the Aurangabad Parliamentary Constituency," Owaisi tweeted. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is contesting Lok Sabha elections for the first time outside Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. “Will be contesting MP seat from Aurangabad on Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi and MIM ticket. It’s time for my city to change. It’s not about me. From here on it’s always going to be ‘We’. Let’s all vote for Aurangabad,” tweeted Imtiaz Jaleel. A former journalist, Imtiaz Jaleel was elected from Aurangabad Central Assembly constituency on MIM ticket in 2014. The party also won Byculla seat in Mumbai.

The party has fielded its Bihar unit chief Akther Ul Imam from Kishanganj parliamentary constituency in the state, party sources said here. Aurangabad will be the third Lok Sabha seat to be contested by the Hyderabad-headquartered party. While Owaisi is seeking re-election from Hyderabad for a fourth consecutive term, MIM’s Bihar unit President Akhtarul Iman will contest from Kishanganj in that state.
