Overview

  • NDA secured 202 of 243 seats, with the BJP at 89 and JD(U) at 85, cementing a commanding majority in the new Assembly.
  • Election officials handed the final list of MLAs to the Governor on Sunday, formally initiating the government-formation process.
  • Nitish Kumar is expected to be elected NDA legislature leader and take oath before November 22, with a cabinet meeting on Monday likely to approve dissolution of the outgoing House.
  • Under the six-to-one formula, the BJP is expected to get about 15–16 ministerial berths, JD(U) around 14, LJP(RV) roughly 3, and one each for HAM and RLM, according to party sources.
  • Jan Suraaj alleged pre-poll fund diversion, including claims about a World Bank tranche and Rs 10,000 transfers to women; the assertions remain unverified and were dismissed by NDA leaders as opposition parties vowed internal reviews.
