As per the latest trends, the opposition alliance of Tejashwi Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Congress & Left parties established a lead over Bihar's ruling NDA as the counting of votes started on the morning of November 10. Within the ruling alliance, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal United, however, has fallen far behind ally BJP. This is an outcome that was expected after Chirag Paswan's rebellion and his party's solo contest. Lok Janashakti Party, which is leading on a few seats, was expected to eat into the JDU votes and give an upper hand to the BJP, which had been chafing under Kumar's leadership in the state.
