The political fate of Bihar is set to be decided today, November 13, 2025, as the state prepares for the counting of votes in a high-stakes assembly election. The outcome will determine if Chief Minister Nitish Kumar secures a historic fifth term or if the state witnesses a change in leadership.
Exit Polls Point to a Clear Trend
In the lead-up to the counting day, exit polls have been nearly unanimous in their prediction. They forecast a clean sweep for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), of which Kumar's Janata Dal (United) is a key constituent. This projected outcome has become a significant point of concern and annoyance for the opposition I.N.D.I.A. bloc, which is hoping to unseat the long-standing government.
A State on the Brink of a Decision
All eyes are now on the counting centers across the state's numerous constituencies, from Valmiki Nagar and Patna Sahib to Gaya and Bhagalpur. The entire political ecosystem of Bihar is holding its breath for the results that will shape the state's governance for the coming years. The process will unfold under tight security to ensure a smooth and transparent declaration of results for every seat.
What the Results Will Mean
A victory for the NDA would solidify Nitish Kumar's position as one of India's most enduring political figures. Conversely, an upset by the I.N.D.I.A. alliance would mark a significant political upheaval in the state. The verdict, expected by the end of the day, will have immediate and far-reaching consequences for Bihar's development trajectory and the national political landscape.
