In the recent Bihar Legislative Council elections, the NDA alliance captured four of the eight contested seats, while two independents and the Jan Suraj and RJD each secured one seat.
The eight‑seat contest for the Bihar Legislative Council has concluded, with the results confirming a clear lead for the National Democratic Alliance. Out of the eight seats, the NDA secured four, marking a decisive share for the coalition in the upper house of the state legislature.
Two independent candidates also emerged victorious, each winning a seat without party affiliation. The remaining two seats were split between Jan Suraj and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), each party gaining a single seat.
Election officials indicated that formalities such as oath‑taking and certification will continue in the coming days, but the outcome is now settled. The distribution of seats is expected to influence the balance of power in the council, where the NDA’s four seats give it a substantial foothold.
Political analysts note that the performance of independents and smaller parties underscores the fragmented nature of Bihar’s regional politics, even as the NDA consolidates its position.
The results were reported by local media outlets, including Amar Ujala from Darbhanga, confirming the final tally.
