ABP Live News | November 5, 2025 1:41 PM CST

As Bihar gears up for the first phase of the Assembly elections, 121 constituencies across 18 districts will go to the polls on November 6 (Thursday). According to official data released by the Election Commission, a total of 1,314 candidates will contest in this phase. The 2025 Bihar Assembly polls will largely be a contest between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan).

With the stage set for polling across 18 districts, attention now turns to how these constituencies voted in the previous election and what that could mean for both alliances this time.

Bihar Elections Phase 1: NDA & Mahagathbandhan Tally In These Seats

In the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, the 121 constituencies that will vote in the first phase of the 2025 polls witnessed a closely contested battle between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance).

The NDA, comprising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (United), and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), together won around 59 of these 121 seats. The Mahagathbandhan, led by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) along with the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Left parties — CPI(ML)L, CPI, and CPI(M) — bagged approximately 61 seats, while the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), which contested separately, won one seat (Matihani).

The BJP maintained a strong presence in regions such as Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Patna, and Begusarai, while the JD(U), despite a reduced overall seat count, retained core constituencies like the Nalanda, Madhepura, Saharsa, and Khagaria belts.

The Left parties, especially the CPI(ML)L, made notable gains in Bhojpur, Arrah, and neighbouring districts, consolidating their traditional base.

Notably, MLAs' deaths, disqualifications, defections, and subsequent bypolls have led to shifts in a few constituencies over the years—the overall NDA tally rose by seven to eight seats against the Mahagathbandhan eventually.

Notably, the VIP seat Bochahan was later won by the RJD in a 2022 bypoll after the death of VIP MLA Musafir Paswan. Both parties are in alliance under the Mahagathbandhan this time.

The 2020 verdict produced a closely fought outcome, with the NDA forming the government under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after securing a narrow edge over the opposition alliance. The results of the 2025 Bihar Election are scheduled for November 14.
