Kumar is expected to step down as the chief minister if he wins the polls.
This has led to speculation that his son, Nishant Kumar, could be made the deputy chief minister and that a Bharatiya Janata Party leader could take over as the chief minister.
Nishant Kumar has not been active in politics.
In a social media post on Thursday, Nitish Kumar said that there had been “a desire in my heart to become a member of both Houses of the Bihar Legislature as well as both Houses of Parliament” since the beginning of his parliamentary journey.
“In keeping with this aspiration, I seek to become a member of the Rajya Sabha in the elections being held this time,” he said.
The Bihar chief minister added: “I want to assure you with complete honesty that my relationship with you will continue in the future as well, and my resolve to work together with you to build a developed Bihar will remain steadfast.”
