Bihar Election Results 2025 LIVE Updates: NDA Crosses 200-Mark, Tejashwi Yadav Trails, AIMIM Leads In 6 Seats

Introduction

Patna
The Bihar Assembly Election 2025 has taken a dramatic turn as early trends show the NDA crossing the 200-seat mark, putting the alliance on track for a sweeping victory. The BJP-JD(U) combine is far ahead of the majority mark of 122, while the Mahagathbandhan (MGB) is struggling to catch up across major constituencies.

In one of the most closely watched contests, Tejashwi Yadav is trailing in Raghopur, a seat that has long been considered the stronghold of the Yadav family.
Meanwhile, the AIMIM has emerged as a surprise performer, securing leads in six seats, mostly in Seemanchal and adjoining regions.

NDA Dominates Across the State

The NDA’s performance has exceeded expectations, with strong leads in urban, semi-urban, and rural belts.
The BJP is performing exceptionally well in Patna, Saran, Muzaffarpur, and parts of North Bihar, while JD(U) is showing strength in its traditional pockets.

Analysts believe the factors driving this surge include:

• Heavy turnout from women voters
• Consolidation of non-Yadav OBC support
• Welfare schemes reaching grassroots levels
• Fragmentation of the opposition vote
• Strong booth management by NDA cadres

Celebrations have already begun at several BJP and JD(U) offices, though leaders remain cautious until trends stabilise.

Tejashwi Yadav Trails in Raghopur

The tight fight in Raghopur has become the biggest headline of the day.
Tejashwi Yadav’s early struggle has surprised political observers, as the seat has traditionally offered the RJD a comfortable margin.

Election officials say:

• Early rounds are from NDA-leaning booths
• Rural booths, which generally favour RJD, are still being counted
• Multiple lead changes are expected as counting progresses

Still, the pressure is clearly mounting on the MGB’s chief ministerial face.

AIMIM Leads in Six Seats, Stuns Rivals

In one of the most significant developments, the AIMIM is leading in six constituencies, strengthening its position in the Seemanchal belt.
This surge has impacted the MGB’s calculations, as AIMIM votes are largely drawn from regions where the opposition expected stronger support.

If these leads hold, AIMIM could play an influential role in the post-poll narrative, even if NDA secures a clear majority.

Mahagathbandhan Struggles to Gain Momentum

The MGB, led by RJD and supported by Congress and Left parties, is trailing across several key districts.
The alliance’s early hopes of staging a comeback seem to be fading as the NDA widens its lead.

Opposition leaders argue that:

• Later rounds will bring a shift
• Postal ballots may narrow the gap
• Rural booths are still to be counted

However, the margin has grown large enough to raise doubts about a late turnaround.

High Turnout Added Unexpected Twists

This year’s election saw a stronger voter turnout, especially among:

• Women
• First-time voters
• Youth
• Migrant workers who returned home

These groups appear to have played a decisive role in shaping the early trends.

Political analysts note that the NDA’s consistent outreach programmes and targeted welfare schemes may have significantly influenced voting behaviour.

Counting Continues Under Tight Security

The Election Commission has deployed heavy security outside all counting centres.
With a large number of seats witnessing close fights, officials expect the final results to take several hours.

Postal ballots, strong-room checks, and verification rounds are underway to ensure transparency.

Conclusion

As of now, the NDA is heading toward a historic victory, crossing the 200-seat mark in early trends.
The MGB is struggling, Tejashwi Yadav is trailing in a critical seat, and AIMIM is emerging as a disruptive force in multiple constituencies.

The final picture will become clearer as counting progresses through the day, but the early numbers indicate a decisive mandate in favour of the NDA.
