The high-stakes Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 have concluded with an intense second phase of voting that saw record-breaking participation from voters across the state. Multiple exit poll agencies have now released their predictions, indicating a massive victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in what could be one of the most significant political outcomes in recent Bihar history.
Record Voter Turnout in Final Phase
The two-phase electoral process reached its conclusion with the second phase achieving an impressive 67.14 per cent voter turnout, demonstrating the strong democratic engagement among Bihar's electorate. This substantial participation rate reflects the intense public interest in an election that could shape the state's political landscape for the next five years.
Voting occurred across multiple constituencies with citizens queuing up at polling stations despite various challenges. The election commission reported smooth conduct of polls with minimal disruptions, ensuring that every eligible voter could exercise their democratic right without hindrance.
Exit Poll Predictions Point to NDA Dominance
Several prominent polling agencies have begun releasing their exit poll data, and the consensus overwhelmingly favors the NDA coalition. Major research organizations including People's Pulse, Chanakya Strategies, Matrize, and Dainik Bhaskar have all projected a clear majority for the NDA alliance in the 243-seat Bihar legislative assembly.
Other significant pollsters such as JVC Poll, Praja Poll Analytics, and TIF Research have echoed similar predictions, suggesting that the NDA's campaign strategy and voter outreach have resonated strongly with the electorate across various regions of Bihar.
The comprehensive exit poll data covers all key constituencies including Valmiki Nagar, Ramnagar, Narkatiaganj, Bagaha, and extending through critical seats in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, and other regions. The predictions indicate widespread support for NDA candidates across both urban and rural constituencies.
Historical Context and Accuracy Considerations
Political analysts are carefully examining these predictions while considering the historical accuracy of exit polls in previous Bihar elections, particularly the 2020 assembly polls. While exit polls provide early indications, the final results scheduled for declaration will ultimately confirm whether these projections align with the actual voter mandate.
The massive predicted victory for NDA, if realized, would represent a significant political consolidation in a state known for its fiercely competitive electoral battles. Such an outcome could have far-reaching implications for both state governance and national political equations.
As the counting day approaches, all political parties are preparing for the final verdict. The election commission has made elaborate arrangements for the vote counting process, ensuring transparency and accuracy in determining the people's verdict for Bihar's next government.
