            Abstract : 
In a real world bilevel decision-making, the lower level of a bilevel decision usually involves multiple decision units. This paper proposes an extended Kuhn-Tucker approach for linear bilevel multifollower programming problems with partial shared variables among followers. Finally numeric examples are given to show how the Kuhn-Tucker approach works.
