If early trends are anything to go by as far as the results of the Bihar assembly elections are concerned, then it is safe to say that the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is firmly in the driver's seat. The BJP-JD(U) alliance has taken a massive lead as as counting was underway for 243 Assembly seats at 46 centres in 38 districts.
The counting of votes began at 8 am and NDA is leading in 190 seats, as per early trends.
The two-phase Bihar elections are being viewed as a crucial test for JD(U) president Nitish Kumar, the State's longest-serving Chief Minister, whose political stock has been under scrutiny following shifting alliances and anti-incumbency sentiments.
Political observers say the results will also be read as a judgement on the Narendra Modi government's popularity, months after the BJP-led NDA suffered setbacks in last year's Lok Sabha polls.
Here is a full list of constituency-wise winners:
The results will be update by the respective returning officer's as and when the counting in the constituencies are over, which we will be updating below.
