The stage is set for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, as announced by the Election Commission of India. Voters will head to the polls on November 6 and November 11 to elect representatives for the 243-member assembly, with results to be declared on November 14. The election features a dynamic competition between the ruling NDA, the opposition Mahagathbandhan, and the emerging Jan Suraaj party.
The NDA coalition has confirmed its seat-sharing formula: JDU and BJP will contest 101 seats each, while HAM and LJP-RV will compete in 6 and 29 constituencies, respectively.
The Mahagathbandhan, a coalition of RJD, Congress, VIP, and Left parties, is actively campaigning against the Nitish Kumar government. Despite some internal disagreements leading to friendly contests on certain seats, the alliance is focused on presenting a united front against the NDA.
Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj is making a significant move by announcing its candidacy in all 243 assembly seats, aiming to disrupt the traditional political order.
Furthermore, Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM, which has a previous track record of winning seats, is expected to field candidates in numerous constituencies. This move could potentially influence electoral outcomes in minority-dominated regions.
Here’s a detailed look at the candidates fielded by the NDA, Mahagathbandhan, and Jan Suraaj across various constituencies.
