The Election Commission is set to announce the results for three key assembly seats in Bihar - Jhanjharpur, Barachatti, and Araria - today. The counting of votes is underway for the 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly, where the ruling JD(U)-BJP alliance, backed by HAM and other NDA partners, is seeking to retain power under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The opposition RJD-Congress-led INDIA bloc, led by Tejashwi Yadav, is hoping to capitalize on anti-incumbency and promises of change to oust the long-serving CM. 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) is looking to play kingmaker in case of a close contest. The results, which can be tracked using this live blog, will reveal how Bihar's voters have responded to the competing claims and alliances of these parties. Stay tuned for live updates as the results unfold.
