The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (transl. All India Council for Unity of Muslims; abbr. AIMIM) is an Indian political party based primarily in the old city of Hyderabad,[7] It is also a significant political party in the Indian States of Telangana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Bihar.[8]
AIMIM has held the Lok Sabha seats for the Hyderabad constituency since 1984. In the 2014 Telangana Legislative Assembly elections, the party won seven seats and received recognition as a "state party" by the Election Commission of India.[9]
For much of its existence, it had little presence beyond old Hyderabad. However, in more recent years, it has begun expanding into other states. It now has a significant presence in Maharashtra, with Imtiyaz Jaleel winning the Aurangabad Lok Sabha constituency in 2019 and with multiple members elected to the Legislative Assembly.[10] It has also made inroads in Bihar, winning five Legislative Assembly seats in 2020.[11][12][13][14]
