The JDU, led by Kumar, won 15 out of 16 seats it contested in the elections. The BJP won 17 seats, while a smaller ally, the Lok Janshakti Party, secured one seat.

The election results have been seen as a setback for Kumar, who has been the Chief Minister of Bihar since 2015. He had previously led the JDU to victory in the 2010 and 2015 state elections.

Kumar is expected to continue to play a significant role in Bihar politics, despite his resignation as Chief Minister.
