Bihar Election Result 2025: Counting of votes continues for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. By afternoon, a clear picture is emerging, seeing which Prashant Kishore may not be happy. New updates from the Election Commission are showing the strong performance of the NDA while Prashant Kishor’s much talked about Jan Swaraj Party is missing from the race.
NDA’s dominance in initial trends
According to the latest vote counting, BJP is emerging as the largest party with 85 seats. With this, Nitish Kumar’s JDU is leading on 76 seats. Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD is ahead on 34 seats while Chirag Paswan’s LJP is looking strong with 22 seats.

Despite creating a stir in the initial hours of counting, Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraj Party soon lost momentum. In the initial trends, Jan Swaraj Party seemed to be getting very limited success. According to the data, Jan Swaraj Party was leading on only three seats. But after that till around 12 noon the party could not show even a single lead in the official trend list of the Election Commission. Till afternoon the situation remained the same and not a single candidate of Jan Suraj was seen in a position of victory anywhere in the state. Before the elections, Prashant Kishore’s claim that Nitish Kumar’s JDU will be limited to only 25 seats seems to be proved completely wrong.
Why couldn’t Jan Suraj make an impact?
Prashant Kishore spent more than 2 months traveling across Bihar during his Padyatra. Or he visited more than 5000 villages and heard the problems of the people. He promised a new development-oriented option. But the voters ignored all his appeals. From the trends till 12:00 noon, the chances of Jan Suraj Party opening its account appear to be almost zero. Prashant Kishor had appealed to the voters to ‘vote for the future of your children and not for the children of politicians’. Which was completely ignored. This clearly shows that this message alone is not enough to uproot long-standing political habits. That too in such a big assembly election.
