Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Sunday finalised seat-sharing arrangements among its constituent parties. The announcement, made by Bihar BJP in-charge Vinod Tawde via social media platform X, outlined a distribution aimed at consolidating the alliance’s position in the upcoming polls.
Both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] will contest 101 seats each. The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) has been allotted 29 seats, while the Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) will contest 6 seats each.
Tawde described the seat-sharing process as being conducted “through mutual consensus in a cordial atmosphere,” adding that leaders and workers of all NDA parties have welcomed the decision and are “resolved to form an NDA government in Bihar once again.”

The NDA alliance in Bihar comprises BJP, JD(U), LJP (Ram Vilas), HAM (Secular), and RLM, and the seat-sharing announcement comes ahead of the 243-seat Bihar Assembly elections, scheduled for November 6 and 11, with votes to be counted on November 14.
The NDA will face stiff competition from the opposition INDIA bloc, led by Tejashwi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), along with the Congress, CPI (ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, CPI, CPM, and Mukesh Sahani’s Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP). Adding to the electoral dynamics, political strategist Prashant Kishor has entered the fray with his newly formed party, Jan Suraaj, which aims to challenge the traditional alliances.
The upcoming elections are expected to be a tightly contested battle, with both national and regional issues, including development, governance, and social welfare, influencing voter sentiment.
