| Key Highlights and Data |
- NDA’s Dominance
- **NDA Crosses 200 Mark: The ruling coalition, comprising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), and other smaller allies, has crossed the 200-seat mark in leads, far exceeding the 122 seats they won in 2020.
- BJP Emerging as the Single-Largest Party: For the first time, the BJP is leading the seat share within the NDA, ahead of its ally JD(U). BJP is leading on over 90 seats, while JD(U) is leading on around 79 seats. This could signal a major shift in the political hierarchy within the state.
- Chief Minister Nitish Kumar appears set to secure his fifth consecutive term in office.
- Mahagathbandhan’s Setback
- The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-led Mahagathbandhan (MGB), which includes the Congress and Left parties, is facing a massive rout, with trends showing them trailing in the vast majority of constituencies.
- RJD Leader Tejashwi Yadav is currently leading in his seat of Raghopur, but the overall performance of the alliance is highly disappointing, failing to replicate its strong show in the 2020 elections.
