RJD’s Nawada candidate Kaushal Yadav expressed confidence in a Mahagathbandhan victory, stating that Tejashwi Yadav is set to become the next Chief Minister of Bihar after November 14. He said that, based on his extensive campaign travels over the past month, the ground reality strongly favors the alliance. According to Yadav, the extremely backward classes, Mahadalits, and smaller castes—the traditional support base of Lalu Yadav—have rallied back to the Mahagathbandhan, making its government’s formation “certain.”

Where to Watch Exit Polls Live

Several leading agencies — Axis My India, CVoter, IPSOS, Jan Ki Baat, and Today’s Chanakya — are expected to release their Bihar Election 2025 Exit Poll results this evening.

The aggregated data is then fed into statistical models to project seat shares and vote percentages for each political formation.

How Exit Polls Are Conducted

Exit poll surveys are carried out once voting ends. Trained surveyors stationed outside selected polling booths approach voters to record their choices. The booths are chosen to reflect a diverse cross-section of Bihar’s electorate — urban and rural, upper and lower castes, various age groups, and genders — ensuring that the findings mirror the broader voting trends.
Nov 11, 2025, 5:11 PM IST

In total, 1,302 candidates are contesting in this phase, making it one of the most closely watched rounds of the election.
Nov 11, 2025, 5:11 PM IST

Why This Phase Is Crucial for NDA

This phase is particularly significant as eight cabinet ministers from the Nitish Kumar government are in the fray. For the NDA, it’s a test of strength in key constituencies, while the INDIA bloc is betting on public discontent and minority votes to tilt the scales.
Nov 11, 2025, 5:11 PM IST

Although Nitish Kumar is not contesting this election—being a member of the Legislative Council—the BJP-led NDA is banking on his “good governance” image to offset anti-incumbency sentiments.

Bihar Records Strong Voter Turnout

As of 1 pm, 47.62% of Bihar’s 3.7 crore voters had cast their ballots across 122 constituencies in the final phase. The polling, held under tight security, is widely viewed as a referendum on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s leadership.
Nov 11, 2025, 5:11 PM IST

However, exit polls often come with a caveat — they are not always accurate. The true verdict will be revealed only on November 14, when the Election Commission of India begins counting votes across all 243 constituencies.
Nov 11, 2025, 5:11 PM IST

What Are Exit Polls and How Do They Work?

Exit polls are conducted immediately after voters cast their ballots. Researchers from various agencies and media organisations ask voters whom they voted for, compiling responses from a representative sample of constituencies. The data is then analysed to estimate possible outcomes before the official counting begins.
