Bihar CEO Submits List of Newly Elected MLAs to Governor, NDA Formally Secures Majority
New Delhi, Nov 16 (TheTrendingPeople) — Two days after Bihar delivered a sweeping mandate in favour of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Vinod Singh Gunjiyal on Sunday formally submitted the list of 243 newly elected members of the state Assembly to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan at the Raj Bhavan in Patna.
The official handover marks the completion of the electoral process for the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections, clearing the way for government formation and the swearing-in of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for a record 10th term.
Election Results Formalised
In an official statement posted on its X handle, the office of the CEO Bihar said:
“Chief Electoral Officer, Bihar, Vinod Singh Gunjyal and Principal Secretary, Election Commission of India, Arvind Anand, handing over the list of elected members and the notification published by the Election Commission of India to the Governor of Bihar, Arif Mohammad Khan in the light of Bihar Legislative Assembly General Election-2025.”
According to the final list:
- NDA: 202 seats
- Mahagathbandhan: 34 seats
- Others (including AIMIM, Indian Inclusive Party, BSP): 7 seats
The notification is an official prerequisite under election rules before the formation of the next government.
Victory Speech and Political Messaging
On Saturday, NDA leaders expressed gratitude to voters after registering one of the alliance’s biggest victories in the state, describing the result as an endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s development roadmap for Bihar.
In a late-evening address at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, PM Modi said he had asked the people for two things — record voter turnout and a decisive mandate for the NDA — and Bihar had delivered both.
“The people of Bihar have voted for a developed Bihar… They have broken all voting records,” the Prime Minister said.
Taking a dig at the RJD’s traditional MY (Muslim-Yadav) base, PM Modi said Bihar’s youth had adopted a new “MY equation — meri yojana, mera vikas,” signalling a shift toward welfare and development-oriented politics.
Political Significance
The formal handover of the MLA list sets the stage for Nitish Kumar — already India’s longest-serving Chief Minister — to begin his 10th term, backed by a dominant BJP and fully-aligned NDA partners.
The result is seen as a major setback for the Opposition and a signal of continuing consolidation in the BJP-JDU alliance. It also resets the political mood ahead of upcoming state elections and Lok Sabha polls.
Final Thoughts from TheTrendingPeople.com
With the notification now submitted and numbers officially sealed, Bihar is set for another NDA-led government — one powered by record voter turnout, strategic welfare messaging, and coalition arithmetic. As political realignments deepen, the larger question remains: can Nitish Kumar and the NDA convert this sweeping mandate into long-term governance gains for a state still battling unemployment, migration, and infrastructure gaps?
