Bihar Election Result 2025: NDA Set To Form Govt As RJD Suffers Major Seat Loss, JDU Marks Strong Comeback

The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) appears to be forming the government in Bihar. Meanwhile, the opposition party, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has faced a major defeat. However, the RJD has one reason to be pleased. 

According to the trends on the Election Commission's website, the party led by Tejashwi Yadav has so far received a 22.79 per cent vote share, which is 2.27 per cent more than the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and 3.8 per cent more than Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United (JDU).

The RJD, which contested 143 seats in the 243-member assembly, is currently leading in only 25 seats. After 2010, when it won only 22 seats, this is likely to be the RJD's second-worst performance in a Bihar election. 

Tejashwi Yadav, the chief ministerial candidate of the opposition Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan), has won his Raghopur seat. Meanwhile, the Congress is leading in five seats and the CPI(ML) Liberation in two. 

On the other hand, the NDA is currently leading in 204 seats, with the BJP leading in 92, the JDU in 84, Union Minister Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) in 19, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha in five, and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha in four.
