Bihar Awaits Assembly Election Results as Vote Counting Set for Friday

Bihar is preparing for the counting of votes on Friday, which will determine the outcome of the recent two-phase Assembly elections. The state recorded a historic voter turnout of 67.13%. The results will decide if incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar secures a record fifth term or if the opposition Mahagathbandhan, led by Tejashwi Yadav, will form the new government. While exit polls have largely predicted a victory for the ruling NDA coalition, the opposition remains confident of a win.
