The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) appeared headed for a sweeping victory in the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, with counting trends firmly placing the coalition far ahead of the Mahagathbandhan. The mandate positions Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for a record-breaking term, further cementing his two-decade-long influence on Bihar politics.
