Bihar Election 2025 Final Results LIVE Updates: The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, conducted in two phases, recorded an active voter turnout across the state. The first phase of polling, held on November 6, saw a turnout of 65.08%, while the second phase registered a higher participation at 67.14%.
Counting of votes for all 243 assembly seats begins today at 8 AM, with the Election Commission of India (ECI) set to release constituency-wise updates throughout the day. By evening, early trends are expected to offer a clearer picture of whether the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) or the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) is headed toward victory.
Under the NDA’s seat-sharing arrangement, the JD(U) and the BJP are contesting 101 seats each, while the LJP (RV) is vying for 29 seats. Smaller allies RLM and HAM(S) have fielded candidates in six seats each.
On the Mahagathbandhan side, the RJD is contesting 143 seats, with the Congress fielding candidates in 61 constituencies. Left parties have also made a significant entry: CPI is contesting 9 seats, CPI(M) is fighting for 4, CPI(ML-L) for 20, and the VIP is competing in 15 seats.
With a simple majority mark of 122 seats required to form the government, all eyes are now on whether Tejashwi Yadav’s Grand Alliance can unseat the ruling combine or if Nitish Kumar’s NDA will retain control. The outcome of this high-stakes election will shape Bihar’s political direction for the coming years.
BJP - 89
JD(U) - 85
RJD - 25
LJPRV - 19
Congress 6
AIMIM - 5
HAMS - 5
Others - 9
Results for all 243 Bihar seats declared; BJP-led NDA bags 202, Mahagathbandhan manages 34, AIMIM 5, others 2.
On NDA's landslide victory in Bihar, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray says, "I want to congratulate the Election Comission from the bottom of my heart. Their experiment of the SIR, through which they cut 65 lakh voters for their owners BJP, was successful. Would Nitish Kumar actually become the Chief Minister owing to the BJP's game... I suggest he stay alert, because we have seen the BJP from up close..."
RJD Candidate from Raghunathpur, Osama Shahab wins by 9248 votes.
Rahul Gandhi on Bihar Results: 'Truly surprising'
"I express my heartfelt gratitude to those millions of voters in Bihar who expressed their trust in the Mahagathbandhan. This result in Bihar is truly surprising. We could not achieve victory in an election that was not fair from the very beginning. This fight is for the protection of the Constitution and democracy. The Congress Party and the INDIA alliance will deeply review this result and make their efforts to save democracy even more effective," he tweeted in Hindi.

In a post on X, Janata Dal (United) shared, 'Just a few hours to wait, the government of good governance is returning once again (Bus kuch ghanto ka intejaar, fir se aa rahi hai sushan ki sarkar).'
Bihar Counting Live Update: Bihar recorded a 57.29% voter turnout in the 2020 Bihar Assembly Election. The NDA was able to form the government despite the RJD emerging as the single largest party with 75 seats. The Congress's poor performance prevented the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the biggest party with 75 seats, from forming the government. Later, Nitish Kumar became Chief Minister of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which went on to establish the government. Kumar took the top job despite his party winning 43 seats, much below the BJP's 74 seats.
In the two phases of the elections for the 243-member assembly on November 6 and November 11, Bihar recorded a remarkable voter turnout of 67.13%. The electoral fate of 2,616 candidates could be decided by a total of 7.45 crore voters.
Tejashwi Yadav of the RJD, the chief ministerial face of the INDIA bloc, is contesting from Raghopur against Chanchal Singh of Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party; deputy chief ministers Samrat Choudhary from Tarapur and Vijay Kumar Sinha from Lakhisarai; BJP candidate and folk singer Maithili Thakur from Alinagar; Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of Lalu Prasad Yadav from Mahua; BJP's Awadhesh Singh from Hajipur; and Congress’s Kamrul Hoda from Kishanganj, who is running against BJP's Sweety Singh.
