BIHAR ELECTION OUTCOMES
- The national democratic alliance won 202 out of 243 seats, a historic majority for the alliance.
- The BJP became the largest party, winning 89 seats, while JDU secured 85 seats.
- Other NDA partners include Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) (LJPRV) with 19 seats, Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) (HAM(S)) with 5 seats, and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) with 4 seats.
- The opposition Mahagathbandhan, led by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), won only 35 seats: RJD 25, Indian National Congress 6, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation 2, CPI(M) 1, Indian Inclusive Party 1.
- The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and AIMIM claimed a few seats, with AIMIM winning 5.
Key Factors
- The NDA's campaign focused on stability, development, and inclusivity, with particular emphasis on the "double-engine government" under PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar.
- The alliance implemented a meticulous seat-sharing arrangement, dividing 101 seats each between BJP and JD(U), and allotting the remainder to allies, which minimized vote-splitting.
- The NDA broadened caste coalitions and aggressively campaigned across all regions of Bihar, leading to a strong voter turnout of 67.13%.
Challenges
- The Mahagathbandhan, led by RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, suffered its worst performance, with significant allegations of voter roll manipulation against the ruling coalition.
- The Congress and other opposition parties accused the Election Commission’s voter roll revision of manipulating the outcome, claiming mass deletions and promising protests and legal challenges.
- Despite the allegations, the NDA’s sweeping victory was clear and decisive, with the results declared on November 14, 2025, following elections held in two phases on November 6 and 11.
Outcomes
- Nitish Kumar will take the oath for a record tenth time, reaffirming his status as Bihar's longest-serving Chief Minister.
