Overview
- Counting-day trends from the Election Commission showed Jan Suraaj winning zero of the 238 seats it contested, with early estimates putting its vote share around 3–4%.
- The NDA raced well past the majority mark with leads topping 200, as JD(U) registered a strong showing of roughly 80 seats in midday tallies.
- Prashant Kishor had predicted a binary outcome for his party and said JD(U) would not cross 25, pledging to quit politics if wrong, a position he had not updated by press time.
- Reports noted JSP candidates trailing even behind NOTA in several constituencies during early rounds before falling further behind as counting progressed.
- Party representatives said the performance will be reviewed after a statewide campaign in which Kishor focused on organisation and did not contest a seat.
