After making its electoral debut in the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections, MNM has embarked on a major reorganisation of his party structure to reach out more section of the voters. In the parliamentary polls, the MNM has finished third in 13 constituencies and fetched more votes in urban areas than in rural seats.

MNM has embarked on a major reorganisation of the party after it had exclusively secured the services of the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), a private organisation that successfully managed the electoral campaign of the BJP in 2014. I-PAC founder Prashant Kishor who is also vice-president of the JD(U) would mentor the MNM on building a robust party structure and devise strategies to reach out a wider section of the people, particularly in rural areas, said sources in MNM.
