The Election Commission of India has begun counting votes for the highly anticipated Bihar Election Result 2025, with the process starting at 8 am on Thursday. As the counting progresses across all 243 constituencies, early trends indicate a massive victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which has established a commanding lead on over 200 seats.
Early Trends Point to NDA Landslide
According to the latest updates from the counting centers, the NDA has surged ahead in a spectacular fashion, crossing the 200-seat mark in the 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly. This performance significantly surpasses the majority mark of 122 seats required to form the government. The ruling coalition appears poised to return to power with an overwhelming mandate from the people of Bihar.
The Mahagathbandhan parties and Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj have put up a disappointing show, with both opposition fronts struggling to make significant gains. The poor performance has pushed the opposition parties into what political analysts are describing as a deep slump, raising questions about their future strategies in state politics.
Key Constituencies and Heavyweight Battles
The Bihar Election Result 2025 winners and losers list will ultimately determine which political forces have gained or lost ground in the state. All eyes are on heavyweight leaders including Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, and Samrat Choudhary, alongside first-time entrants such as Maithili Thakur.
Initial results from specific constituencies show significant developments. In Kalyanpur, Maheshwar Hazari of the JD(U) has defeated CPI(ML)(L)'s Ranjeet Kumar Ram. Similarly, in Alauli, Ram Chandra Sada from JD(U) has triumphed over RJD's Rambriksh Sada. In Harnaut, JDU candidate Hari Narayan Singh has emerged victorious against Congress's Arun Kumar.
Another notable result comes from Mokama, where Anant Kumar Singh of JD(U) has defeated RJD's Veena Devi. In Belaganj, Manorama Devi from JD(U) has secured victory over RJD candidate Vishvanath Kumar Singh.
Election Process and Exit Poll Predictions
The Bihar assembly elections were conducted in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with the final results scheduled for announcement on November 14. The voting process saw significant participation across the state, with voters deciding the fate of candidates in all 243 constituencies.
Exit polls released on Tuesday had accurately predicted the return of the NDA government in Bihar with a substantial victory over the Mahagathbandhan. The polls also correctly forecast a disappointing debut for Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj.
Various polling agencies had provided their projections:
- Matrize Exit Poll: NDA 147-167 seats, Mahagathbandhan 70-90 seats, Jan Suraaj 0-2 seats
- Dainik Bhaskar: NDA 145-160 seats, Mahagathbandhan 73-91 seats
- People's Insight: NDA 133-148 seats, Mahagathbandhan 87-102 seats, Jan Suraaj 0-2 seats
- People's Pulse: NDA 133-159 seats, Mahagathbandhan 75-101 seats, Jan Suraaj 0-5 seats
The actual results now emerging show the NDA performing even better than most exit poll predictions, indicating a stronger-than-expected wave in favor of the ruling coalition.
The final winners and losers list from all 243 constituencies will shape political conversations across Bihar for the coming years, determining the balance of power and setting the agenda for the state's development trajectory under the new government.
