Patna, India – After a record win in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is set to hand the chief minister’s oath to Nitish Kumar for the tenth time. National media and voters alike are watching a dramatic shift in Bihar’s political landscape.
NDA dominates Bihar
The NDA captured a landslide victory, taking more than half of the 243 seats in the state assembly. In Patna district alone, the alliance won 11 of 14 seats, proving its strength in the city’s core.
Remaining opposition seats
Only three opposition representatives kept their seats in the district:
- Bhai Virendra (RJD) – Maner
- Ramanand Yadav (RJD) – Fatuha
- Sandeep Saurav (CPI‑ML) – Paliganj
These wins highlight the weak position of the Mahagathbandhan after the elections.
