In a significant political development, Nitish Kumar has been unanimously elected as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) legislature party in Bihar, paving the way for him to become the state's Chief Minister for an unprecedented tenth time.
Unanimous Decision at Key Meeting
The crucial meeting took place at 'Samvad,' located within the Chief Minister's Secretariat, where all newly elected Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and 22 Legislative Council members from the party were present. The gathering witnessed complete consensus regarding Kumar's leadership, with no opposition voices emerging during the proceedings.
This unanimous endorsement underscores the continued confidence that alliance partners and party members place in Kumar's leadership capabilities, particularly during this critical juncture in Bihar's political landscape.
Historic Tenth Term Ahead
With this election as the NDA legislature party leader, Nitish Kumar is now positioned to create history by assuming the Chief Minister's office for the tenth consecutive time. This remarkable achievement solidifies his position as one of India's most enduring and experienced political administrators.
The formal government formation has been scheduled for Thursday, 20th November, when the swearing-in ceremony is expected to take place. This date marks the beginning of another chapter in Bihar's governance under Kumar's leadership.
Next Steps and Raj Bhawan Visit
Following his election, Kumar has proceeded to the Raj Bhawan, the official residence of the Governor, as confirmed by multiple news agencies. This visit constitutes a crucial constitutional step where he will formally stake claim to form the government.
The swift transition from the party meeting to the Raj Bhawan indicates the NDA's preparedness to establish the new administration without delay. Political observers are closely monitoring these developments as they unfold, anticipating the composition of the new cabinet and the governance priorities that the renewed administration will emphasize.
This development represents a significant moment in Bihar's political history, with an experienced leader returning to helm the state amid evolving regional and national political dynamics.
