PM Modi, Amit Shah and several top NDA leaders to attend the swearing-in ceremony
Janata Dal-(United) President Nitish Kumar was on Wednesday (November 19, 2025) unanimously elected as leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Legislature Party ahead of the formation of a new government under his leadership in the State on November 20.
Mr. Kumar, who will take oath as Bihar Chief Minister for a record 10th time, was first elected as leader of the JD-(U) Legislature Party during the meeting with the new MLAs held at his official residence in Patna.
Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha were also elected as leader and deputy leader of the BJP Legislature Party, respectively, during the meeting held at the BJP State headquarters.
Uttar Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who was appointed as the central observer for the election of the Legislature Party Leader in Bihar, proposed the names of both leaders, and the remaining MLAs supported the proposal. With this, it is almost certain that Mr. Choudhary and Mr. Sinha will continue in the post of Deputy Chief Minister as in the previous government.
