In 2015, three candidates each from chief minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal(United) and Lalu Prasad Yadav-led Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) won from the six seats. While the JD(U) won Alamnagar, Bihariganj and Sonbarsha, RJD candidates were victorious from Madhepura, Saharsa and Mahishi.

Both JD(U) and RJD had contested the 2015 assembly elections together as part of the Mahagathbandhan alliance, which emerged victorious, but collapsed in July 2017. Nitish Kumar then went on to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), paving the way for a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in Bihar.

The three-phase Bihar assembly elections 2020 began on October 28, with 71 seats voting in the first phase. 94 went to polls in the second phase, while 78 voted in the third and final phase on November 7. Counting of votes will take place on November 10.

Majority of exit polls have given an edge to the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan. The exit polls are based on responses of people who have cast their votes. Assuming that the voters have correctly revealed their choice, pollsters predict the results much before the actual counting of votes begins.
