Bihar Election 2025: The poll bugle for the Bihar assembly election has been sounded by the Election Commission of India. The voting for the 243-member assembly elections will be held in two phases – November 6 and 11 while the counting of votes will take place on November 14.
The National Democratic Alliance has finalised its seat-sharing with the JDU and the BJP contesting on 101 seats each and the HAM and RLM on six each. Chirag Paswan’s LJP-RV will be contesting on 29.
On the other hand, the Mahagathbandhan is up against the ruling NDA. The RJD, Congress, VIP and Left parties are leaving no stone unturned to challenge Nitish Kumar’s government.

Making the battle interesting is Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj, which has annonced to contest all the 243 seats on its own.
Notably, Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), which won five seats last time, has announced to contest dozens of seats this time, thus creating polarisation fear on the Muslim-majority seats.
Below is the party-wise full list of candidates and their constituencies:
