The Election Commission is set to announce the results for the crucial assembly seats of Nalanda, Barh, and Banmankhi in Bihar, a key battleground in the 243-member state assembly. Polling for the Bihar assembly elections 2025 took place in November in two phases, with the opposition RJD-Congress-led INDIA bloc, led by Tejashwi Yadav, seeking to unseat Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his JD(U)-BJP alliance. In the last assembly elections in 2020, the NDA, led by the BJP and JD(U), narrowly retained power with 125 seats, just above the majority mark of 122. This time, the JD(U)-BJP alliance, backed by HAM and other NDA partners, hopes to secure another term, while the INDIA bloc aims to capitalize on anti-incumbency and promises of change. The Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), led by Prashant Kishor, is making its debut by contesting all 243 seats, while Chirag Paswan's LJP (Ram Vilas) seeks to play a key role in case of a close contest. Today's election results will reveal how Bihar's voters have weighed the competing claims and alliances in these assembly seats and the rest of the state. Here are the latest updates from Nalanda, Barh, and Banmankhi: - Barh: Siyaram Singh (BJP) is ahead in the polls. - Banmankhi: Krishna Kumar Rishi (BJP) is in the lead. - Nalanda: Shrawon Kumar (JD(U)) is currently ahead.
