The election’s outcome not only reshapes Bihar’s political landscape but also holds national-level significance, especially ahead of the next parliamentary elections.
Voting Phases & Official Turnout
The Bihar elections were conducted in two phases:
- Phase 1: 6 November 2025
- Phase 2: 11 November 2025
According to official data from the Election Commission, Bihar recorded its highest-ever voter turnout of 66.9% across both phases.
Even Phase 1 alone saw 65.08% turnout, which the state confirmed as the highest in its electoral history. This massive participation indicates that the citizens of Bihar were deeply invested in shaping the future of their state.
Official Results: NDA’s Dominating Lead
As per the Election Commission’s official trends and results, the NDA crossed the majority mark of 122 seats with a massive margin, capturing more than 200 seats.
This made it one of NDA’s strongest performances in Bihar’s modern political history.
🏆 Who Won?
- NDA (BJP + JD(U)): Big victory
- RJD-led Mahagathbandhan: Major setback
- Smaller regional parties: Minimal impact
The ruling alliance not only retained power but strengthened its position dramatically.
Why Did NDA Win? Key Factors
1. High Women Voter Influence
Reports show that women voters played a crucial role, benefiting significantly from state and central welfare schemes. Political analysts believe that targeted benefits—especially for women—helped push the NDA to a comfortable victory.
2. Welfare Schemes & Ground Outreach
NDA’s social welfare programs, like:
- Ujjwala
- PM Awas Yojana
- Free ration scheme
…continued to resonate with the rural and urban poor.
3. Weak Opposition Coordination
The Mahagathbandhan failed to convert their rallies and social media presence into votes. Seat-sharing and ground-level coordination remained weak in many constituencies.
4. Law & Order Narrative
Safety, crime control, and stability were major talking points. NDA’s communication strategy successfully convinced voters that governance stability would continue under their leadership.
ECI Roll Revision & Controversy
Before elections, the Election Commission of India conducted a Special Intensive Revision of the voter list, resulting in the removal of a large number of names.
This revision became a point of debate and may have impacted voter numbers in certain regions.
However, the ECI clarified that deletions and updates were done under standard procedures.
