Bihar Election 2025 has entered its decisive phase as counting progresses across the state, and early trends clearly indicate a strong lead for the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the longest-serving leader in Bihar’s history, appears poised to secure yet another term, reaffirming his dominance over the state’s political landscape. Meanwhile, the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, spearheaded by Tejashwi Yadav, is struggling to keep pace and replicate its earlier successes.
Bihar Election 2025: NDA Crosses Majority Mark Early
In the latest updates from the Bihar Election 2025, the NDA has comfortably crossed the majority threshold in early trends, appearing on track to win over 150 seats out of the 243-seat Assembly. This sweeping lead aligns closely with exit polls that predicted a resurgence of the Nitish-led alliance.
The RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, despite high expectations, is trailing significantly. The Congress, a key alliance partner, is reportedly falling short of the performance needed to bolster the Grand Alliance’s numbers. This has further widened the gap between the two political blocs, setting the stage for another NDA government in Bihar.
Tejashwi Leads in Raghopur, But Mahagathbandhan Struggles Elsewhere
While the Grand Alliance is underperforming statewide, its chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav continues to maintain a solid lead in his home constituency, Raghopur. However, his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav, who was expelled from the RJD and contested under his new party JJD, is trailing in Mahua, adding to the alliance’s setbacks.

Both seats lie in Vaishali district — an area long considered a stronghold of the Yadav family — making these results even more significant for the RJD’s political legacy.
Bihar Election 2025: Smoothest Election So Far, Says ECI
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has lauded the Bihar Election 2025 as a “model election,” noting:
- Zero repolls
- Record voter participation
- Tight security and transparent counting
With over 4,300 counting tables, 18,000+ candidate-appointed agents, and CAPF personnel guarding strongrooms, the process is unfolding with exceptional precision. High-definition CCTV surveillance and 46 counting centres across 38 districts are ensuring complete transparency.
Political Tensions Rise Ahead of Counting
Despite smooth operations, political temperatures flared on the eve of result day.
Tejashwi Yadav told his party members to stay vigilant and “resist any unconstitutional activity,” recalling the RJD’s alleged grievances from the 2020 elections. RJD’s Sunil Kumar Singh even warned of a “Nepal-like situation” if counting irregularities occurred.
The BJP hit back strongly, dismissing the remarks as “desperation” from an alliance sensing defeat. State BJP president Dilip Jaiswal said the public’s verdict was already clear and the NDA would secure a peaceful victory.
The ECI also replaced the Returning Officer of Chenari, Mr. Lalit Bhushan Ranjan, with Zafar Hasan of Rohtas district, citing transparency concerns.
Exit Polls Strengthen NDA’s Confidence
All major exit polls predicted an NDA victory in the Bihar Election 2025, boosting morale within the ruling coalition.
Union Minister Nityanand Rai said early trends validated their vision and expected the final tally to surpass projections.
However, Mahagathbandhan leaders like Congress MP Imraan Masood and Purnea MP Pappu Yadav rejected the exit poll numbers, maintaining confidence that their alliance would form the next government.
Strict Measures in Patna Amid Results
With the Model Code of Conduct extended in Patna district until November 16, authorities have banned:
- Victory processions
- Unauthorized public gatherings
- Celebratory rallies
This step aims to maintain law and order during the emotionally charged period following the Bihar Election 2025 results.
Bihar Election 2025: What the Trends Mean for Bihar’s Future
If the early trends hold, Nitish Kumar will once again lead the state, supported by a reinvigorated NDA. The results indicate:
- A vote for stability and continuity under Nitish Kumar
- Strong urban and rural backing for the BJP-JDU alliance
- A setback for RJD’s young leadership under Tejashwi Yadav
- Weak performance of Congress impacting the Mahagathbandhan
As Bihar awaits the official results, the direction is clear: the NDA is on course to retain power with an emphatic mandate.
