Overview
- The NDA’s seat share stands near 202, with BJP at about 89, JDU around 85, LJP (Ram Vilas) 19 and HAM 5, giving the bloc a commanding majority.
- Nitish Kumar is expected to tender a procedural resignation next week before being re-elected NDA legislature leader, and allies have begun coordination meetings, including a post-result visit by Chirag Paswan.
- Congress has alleged large-scale irregularities linked to the Election Commission’s SIR process affecting 128 constituencies, a disputed claim as some leaders such as Sharad Pawar instead cited pre-poll cash transfers to women as a decisive factor.
- AIMIM re-established a concentrated foothold in Seemanchal by winning five seats, reshaping local contests and cutting into the opposition’s vote in several constituencies.
- RJD fell to roughly 25 wins from 143 contests, raising warnings about future Rajya Sabha strength, while Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraj failed to secure a single seat with most candidates losing deposits.
