Former political strategist Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj has failed to win any seat in the Bihar Assembly election, despite contesting in 238 constituencies.

While the party had gained leads in four constituencies in early trends, it fell behind other parties in subsequent rounds of counting.

This is in line with exit poll forecasts, which predicted that the Jan Suraaj would be limited to zero to five seats in the 243-member Assembly.

Kishor had launched the party on October 2, 2024, saying that it would seek to end political helplessness in Bihar by creating a united alternative party for its citizens.

Ahead of the election, there had been speculation that Kishor himself could contest the election. However, he announced on October 15 that he would not contest any seat.

The National Democratic Alliance won the Assembly elections and was set to win 202 out of 243 constituencies. The Rashtriya Janata Dal-led Opposition alliance was ahead in only 35 seats as of 9 pm.

The NDA comprises the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Janata Dal (United) led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Union minister Chirag Paswan’s faction of the Lok Janshakti Party, the Rashtriya Lok Morcha and the Hindustani Awam Morcha.

The Mahagathbandhan comprises the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Congress, the Vikassheel Insaan Party and three Left parties – the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) – along with the Indian Inclusive Party.

The first phase of polling took place on November 6 and the second on November 11. The provisional voter turnout was a record 67.1%. This was the highest polling percentage in Bihar since 1951, the Election Commission said.
