Bihar election results: JD(U) winners’ list and what the verdict means for Nitish Kumar
A high-risk mission for Bihar’s political leaders
The 2025 elections had been heralded as one of the most important elections in recent years, not only for the ruling JD(U) but also for RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor. Today’s final figures will offer the first clear indication of where voter sentiment stands.
For Nitish Kumar, this decision shapes both his political legacy and his ability to navigate future alliances. JD(U)’s number of seats and spread across districts is likely to determine its influence in the next government-forming exercise.
Tejashwi Yadav, who has mounted a strong fight through the RJD-led campaign, will now compare the results with his expectations of emerging as Bihar’s dominant opposition voice.
Jan Suraaj, who contested Prashant Kishor’s first at-large election, faced serious scrutiny. With Kishor stepping into electoral politics years later as one of the country’s most sought-after strategists, today’s result serves as an important test of whether his grassroots outreach is translating into votes.Bihar Election Results 2025: Check complete list of RJD winners

How did the census take place?
As per the Election Commission of India’s protocol, counting began at 8 am with postal votes taking place. Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were opened half an hour later under a strict security and surveillance regime.
All EVMs were sealed and stored in strong rooms secured with double lock system, constantly guarded by central powers and monitored through CCTV feeds. Early trends began to emerge around noon and full results stabilized by the evening.
This was the first Assembly election since the Covid-19 pandemic and also the first election held after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the most comprehensive update of electoral rolls in over two decades.

Record attendance, huge distribution
Bihar recorded the highest ever turnout of 67.13%, easily surpassing the 62.57% turnout in 2020 and even the high turnout seen in the 1998 Lok Sabha polls. Not a single re-vote was required among the 2,616 candidates and 12 recognized parties; This is an important indicator that the voting was smooth.
ECI has set up 4,372 counting desks across the state to manage the massive counting exercise. Each one was staffed by a supervisor, an assistant, and a microobserver. A total of 243 Returning Officers and an equal number of Census Observers oversaw the process, supported by more than 18,000 census representatives.
Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Tracking (VVPAT) slips were matched with EVM results at five randomly selected polling stations in each constituency as part of a multi-layered verification system. The entire counting process was recorded on video for transparency and auditing purposes.
The party’s performance is being closely evaluated to gauge public response to Nitish Kumar’s leadership; this is marked by multiple alliance changes and an unusually risky campaign.
