All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM)-aligned Humayun Kabir — a suspended Trinamool MLA — has announced his plan to launch a new political party in West Bengal on December 22. He claims to be “Bengal’s Owaisi,” citing personal assurances from Asaduddin Owaisi, and intends to contest 135 of the state’s 294 assembly seats in 2026. Kabir warned that the “Muslim vote bank” of Trinamool will be finished — positioning his party as a Muslim-representative alternative, and potentially altering communal and electoral dynamics in Bengal ahead of next year’s polls.
