NDA Edges Ahead in Bihar Elections Midst Tight Contest

Voting turnout hit a record 67.13%, with exit polls forecasting a narrow edge for the National Democratic Alliance in the 243-member Bihar assembly election.

  • Counting across 46 counting centres in 38 districts starts at 8 am Friday, with trends likely by 9 am as the National Democratic Alliance shows an early edge.
  • Earlier this month, voting occurred in two phases on November 6 and 11, producing a historic turnout of 67.13 per cent among 7.45 crore eligible voters, with Seemanchal averaging 75.10 per cent.
  • Exit polls like Dainik Bhaskar and Times Now-JVC project the National Democratic Alliance in the 135-160 seat range, with IANS-Matrize and P-Marq forecasting 142-167 seats.
  • The results will determine whether Nitish Kumar, JD, wins a fifth consecutive term as top leaders held hectic parleys on Thursday and NDA leaders ordered sweets for a `day of victory`.
  • The RJD warned of unrest as strong rooms are sealed with double-locks, control rooms staffed by officials, and inspections underway, amid tensions during counting.
