Overview
- Election Commission results confirm AIMIM victories in Amour, Kochadhaman, Baisi, Jokihat and Bahadurganj, with winners Akhtarul Iman, Md Sarwar Alam, Ghulam Sarwar, Mohammad Murshid Alam and Md Tauseef Alam securing margins of roughly 23,000–39,000 votes.
- All five wins are clustered in the Seemanchal belt across Kishanganj, Purnea and Araria, repeating the party’s 2020 pattern and leaving its final tally roughly on par with Congress.
- AIMIM contested independently after talks with the opposition alliance collapsed, with leaders saying they had proposed a six-seat arrangement that was rejected by RJD and Congress.
- Multiple reports highlight a vote-splitting effect in Seemanchal that dented the Mahagathbandhan’s prospects, as the NDA cruised to a decisive statewide majority.
- Asaduddin Owaisi welcomed the verdict and pledged a development push for Seemanchal focused on schools, hospitals, bridges, industry and reducing child mortality.
