The list was issued through an official press release signed by party president B.K. Hrangkhawl and founder Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma. The announcement confirms that the party will contest all seats independently, reaffirming its intent to consolidate its support base across the ADC constituencies.
As per the released list, prominent candidates include Bhaba Ranjan Reang from Damcherra–Jampui (ST), Swapan Kumar Chakma from Machmara, Umashankar Reang from Dasda–Kanchanpur, and Ratish Tripura from Karamchhara (ST). Hangsa Kumar Tripura has been fielded from Chhawmanu (ST), while Hollywood Chakma will contest from Manu–Chailengta.
In key constituencies, the party has nominated Dhirendra Debbarma from Demchhara–Kachuchharra (ST), Khotrojay Reang from Ganganagar–Gandachharra (ST), and Prasmit Debbarma from Halahali–Asharambari (ST). Rajeshwar Debbarma will contest from Kulai–Champahour (ST), while Utpal Debbarma has been fielded from Maharani–Teliamura (ST).
Other notable candidates include James Debbarma from Ramchandra Ghat (ST), Rabindra Debbarma from Simna–Tamakari (ST), and Runei Debbarma from Bodhjungnagar–Wakkinagar (ST). The party has also fielded Jagadish Debbarma from Jirania (ST) and Jiten Debbarma from Mandainagar–Pulinpur (ST).

Significantly, Kamal Kalai has been fielded from Ampinagar (ST), while Dhananjy Tripura has been nominated from the politically sensitive Raima Valley (ST) seat. The latter’s candidature had already sparked internal dissent among a section of party workers earlier.
