Nov-19-2025

Marking a crucial step toward the formation of the new Bihar government, Nitish Kumar was unanimously elected as the leader of the Janata Dal (United) Legislature Party during a meeting of newly elected MLAs in Patna.

Meanwhile, the BJP elected Samrat Choudhary as the leader of its legislature party and Vijay Sinha was chosen as the deputy leader in Bihar. Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who served as the BJP’s central observer for the Bihar elections, formally announced their appointments. 

The move has set the stage for Kumar and Choudhary to be named the NDA’s chief ministerial and deputy CM candidate once again. 

Samrat Choudhary said, ‘I thank the party leadership and all MLAs who have again given me a chance to lead the party. The BJP has expressed its faith in the BJP and the party will try to meet their expectations’.

The NDA retained power in the recently concluded assembly elections with a landslide margin, winning 202 of the 243 seats, with the BJP securing 89, JD(U) 85, LJP(RV) 19, HAM 5 and RLM 4.
