Breaking News: AIMIM Spokesperson Asim Waqar Set to Join Congress Ahead of UP Elections
AIMIM national spokesperson Syed Asim Waqar is expected to join the Congress party in Delhi today, September 2, ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The development could be a significant setback for AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
According to reports, Waqar has been associated with AIMIM for nearly a decade. He has also emerged as one of the party’s prominent voices in Uttar Pradesh politics.
Sources indicate that Waqar had been unhappy with certain decisions concerning the AIMIM’s Uttar Pradesh unit. His reported move to Congress comes months before the crucial state elections.
Waqar previously spent around 20 years with the Samajwadi Party before joining AIMIM. Reports suggest that Congress Minority Department president and Rajya Sabha MP Imran Pratapgarhi played a role in bringing him into the party.
The reported switch is significant for Congress as it prepares for the Uttar Pradesh polls. The party is currently working with the Samajwadi Party as part of the INDIA bloc.
For AIMIM, Waqar’s exit could pose a challenge to its efforts to expand its political footprint in Uttar Pradesh. Owaisi’s party has been seeking to strengthen its presence ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
However, reports published before the expected joining said Waqar had not formally confirmed or denied the move. The Congress has also not issued formal confirmation in the reports reviewed.
