Bihar Assembly to Hold Trust Vote for Samrat Choudhary-Led NDA Government

The Bihar Assembly will hold a one-day special session on April 24, 2026, for the newly formed NDA government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary to seek a trust vote.

Observers note potential shifts as some Opposition members may support the new government, which could impact political dynamics in the state.
