Bihar's voters are set to decide the fate of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his JD(U)-BJP alliance as the Election Commission announces the results of the assembly elections held in November 2025. The counting of votes is underway in the 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly, with Katihar, Kadwa, and Balrampur being three key constituencies to watch. The NDA, led by Nitish Kumar, is seeking to retain power despite a stiff challenge from the RJD-Congress-led INDIA bloc, headed by Tejashwi Yadav. The opposition is banking on anti-incumbency and promises of change to oust the long-serving Chief Minister. The JD(U)-BJP alliance is hoping to secure another term, backed by HAM and other NDA partners. Other key players in the election include the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) of Prashant Kishor, which is making its debut by contesting all 243 seats, and Chirag Paswan's LJP (Ram Vilas), which could play a crucial role as a kingmaker in case of a close contest. Today's election results will reveal how Bihar's voters have judged the competing claims and alliances in the assembly seats of Katihar, Kadwa, Balrampur, and the rest of the state.
