RJD Wins Darbhanga Graduates Seat as Bihar MLC Election Results Announced
In Bihar's Legislative Council elections, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) secured key victories, including a notable win in the Darbhanga Graduates' constituency where Anil Kumar Jha defeated BJP's Sarvesh Kumar after nearly 60 hours of counting and second-preference vote transfers. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won three seats overall, with BJP candidates winning some constituencies and independents also securing victories. The Jan Suraaj Party gained its first seat, marking a significant development in the Teachers' constituencies. The results highlight the impact of the Single Transferable Vote system and reflect competitive multi-party contests.
