Breaking: NDA Seat Sharing Formula Revealed In Bihar Ahead Of Assembly Elections 2025

Bihar’s NDA is finalizing its seat-sharing arrangement ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections, and two possible formulas have emerged. According to the first, JD(U) may contest 102–103 seats while BJP could field candidates on 101–102 seats. Chirag Paswan’s LJP is likely to get 25–28 seats, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party 6–7 seats, and Upendra Kushwaha’s party 4–5 seats. The second formula slightly alters the distribution: JD(U) would get 101 seats, BJP 100 seats, LJP 26 seats plus one Rajya Sabha seat, and both Manjhi’s and Kushwaha’s parties 8 seats each.Discussions are also ongoing about whether the elections will be conducted in one or two phases. JD(U) has suggested a single-phase poll, citing improved law and order, road connectivity, and administrative efficiency. However, the Election Commission will decide the final schedule. The debate comes amid comparisons to earlier elections, highlighting Bihar’s infrastructural improvements under the double-engine government. These developments are expected to influence voter sentiment and election strategies. Political observers note that seat-sharing negotiations and the timing of voting will be critical in shaping the NDA’s prospects against opposition alliances in the state.
