Overview
- Final results confirm Congress won six seats, a steep drop from 19 in 2020 and among its poorest showings in the state.
- The BJP prevailed across most of its 101 contests, with 12 nominees losing, several by razor-thin margins including 30, 178, 221 and 602 votes.
- Congress contested around 60 seats as an RJD ally, down from 77 in 2020, reflecting a narrower map and fewer winnable opportunities.
- The six Congress winners were Surendra Prasad (Valmiki Nagar), Abhishek Ranjan (Chanpatia), Manoj Bishwas (Forbesganj), Abidur Rehman (Araria), Md Qamrul Hoda (Kishanganj) and Manohar Prasad Singh (Manihari).
- Congress leaders criticised the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision, with Rahul Gandhi dismissing the EC’s replies to his allegations as excuses.
