AIMIM Consolidates Seemanchal Foothold, Wins 4 Seats and Leads in 1 as NDA Dominates Bihar Count

The party’s localized gains in Muslim-majority constituencies highlight fragmented opposition votes without shifting the statewide edge for the NDA.

Overview

  • By evening counts, reports cited AIMIM victories in Jokihat, Kochadhaman, Amour and Bahadurganj, with a lead in Baisi, all within the Seemanchal belt.
  • Earlier Election Commission snapshots fluctuated, showing the party ahead in three to as many as six Seemanchal constituencies as rounds progressed.
  • AIMIM’s showing remains concentrated in its 2020 stronghold, reinforcing regional relevance even after four of its five 2020 MLAs defected to the RJD.
  • Statewide trends point to a commanding NDA lead surpassing the majority mark and crossing 200 in several updates, leaving the opposition far behind.
  • AIMIM, which ultimately fielded 25 candidates after touting a broader push, claims it offered the Mahagathbandhan a six-seat deal and blames RJD and Congress for splitting minority votes.
