Nitish Kumar is poised to be elected as the leader of the NDA in Bihar ahead of the formation of the new government. He is set to take oath as Bihar Chief Minister for a record 10th time at Gandhi Maidan in Patna on November 20. The plan involves Kumar first being elected as leader of the JD(U) legislature party on Wednesday, followed by his election as NDA leader by the newly elected MLAs of all alliance partners. The move comes as the five-party NDA seeks to consolidate leadership and governance after recent electoral gains. Kumar will meet Governor Arif Mohammad Khan in the evening to initiate the process for government formation, with preparations in full swing around the state capital. The preparations were visible as Kumar, accompanied by key party figures, reviewed security and logistics for the oath ceremony and subsequent cabinet formation. The NDA’s broad consensus signals continuity in Bihar’s political trajectory, with an emphasis on steady governance and coalition harmony.
