Overview
- Multiple agencies published seat projections on November 11 that largely place the BJP-led NDA ahead in the 2025 Bihar Assembly race.
- Analyses note that such forecasts have been uneven, aligning in Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir but diverging in Haryana, Jharkhand and the 2024 Lok Sabha results.
- Voting concluded in two phases on November 6 and 11, with reports citing record participation and turnout reaching 67.14% by 5 p.m. on the final day.
- The race is framed as Nitish Kumar’s NDA versus Tejashwi Yadav’s Mahagathbandhan, with Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraj Party attempting to create a three-cornered contest.
- Bihar has 243 seats with a 122 majority mark, and coverage conflicts on the counting date—reported as either November 14 or November 24—so final outcomes are not yet declared.
