Patna: The regional breakdown of the Bihar Assembly election results reveals a broad yet varied electoral mandate, with the NDA — led by JD(U), BJP and LJP(RV) — securing a strong position across most regions, even as local dynamics shaped constituency-wise outcomes. From the silk-rich belt of Bhagalpur to the politically sensitive Seemanchal and the historically influential Magadh, the results reflect a mix of continuity, regional loyalties, and competitive contests.
In Bhagalpur, which accounts for 27 Assembly seats and is known for its politically steady voting pattern, the JD(U) emerged as the leading force with 14 seats. The BJP secured 9, while LJP(RV) bagged 2 seats. HAMS and the RJD won one seat each, reaffirming the region’s largely stable yet competitive landscape.
The politically charged Bhojpur region, with 46 seats, once again demonstrated its strong mobilisation and caste-driven dynamics. The BJP topped the chart with 19 seats, followed by JD(U)’s 16. The RJD won 5 seats, LJP(RV) 3, RLM 2, and CPI(ML-L) secured 1, reflecting entrenched loyalties blended with tough contests.
In the historically significant Magadh region, which has 47 seats, voters delivered a closely contested outcome. JD(U) won 15 seats, followed by the BJP with 14. The RJD secured 8 seats, LJP(RV) 5, HAMS 4, and CPI(ML-L) picked up 1, highlighting the region’s diverse political tilt shaped by urban, rural, and caste influences.
