The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) registered a landslide victory in the Bihar assembly elections as it won 202 of the state’s 243 seats. The coalition’s two major constituents – the BJP and Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) – won 89 and 85 seats, respectively. In sharp contrast, the Mahagathbandhan crumbled under the wave. The RJD managed just 25 seats, the Congress collapsed to 6, and the Left parties together secured only 3. The BSP and IIP picked up one seat each.

With achieving such a decisive victory, Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar is poised to take office for another term. Kumar, the state’s longest-serving Chief Minister, has already held the post nine times.
