Bihar Vote Counting Day
The Bihar Assembly Election 2025 results. The fate of the 243-member state assembly hangs in the balance, and with it, the political future of two dominant figures: incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the challenger, Tejashwi Yadav. This high-stakes election will decide whether the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secures a record fifth term for Nitish Kumar or if the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-led Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) can defy predictions and usher in a generational shift in state leadership.
The atmosphere across Bihar is electric, laced with tension and anticipation. After a spirited campaign that saw unprecedented enthusiasm, especially among young voters, the focus has shifted entirely to the vote counting process. The Election Commission (EC) has deployed extensive security measures, setting up 46 counting centres across all 38 districts to ensure transparency and order. Counting officially begins at 8 AM, starting with postal ballots before transitioning to the electronic voting machine (EVM) results. By Friday noon, political analysts expect the definitive trends to clarify who will form the next government in Bihar.
