Nitish Kumar Set for Record 10th Term as Bihar Chief Minister

Patna, India – November 19, 2025 – Nitish Kumar is poised to be sworn in as Chief Minister of Bihar for an unprecedented 10th time on November 20th. The Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) leader was unanimously elected as the party’s legislature leader and is expected to be chosen as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) later today. He will then tender his resignation as head of the outgoing government to Governor Arif Mohammad Khan before officially forming the new government.

Preparations are underway for a grand oath-taking ceremony at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, several other Union ministers, and chief ministers from NDA-ruled states are expected to attend.

Intense negotiations are ongoing within the NDA to finalize cabinet positions and decide on the Assembly Speaker. Samrat Choudhary has been elected as the BJP legislature party leader in Bihar, while Vijay Kumar Sinha has been named as the deputy legislature party leader.

The NDA’s victory is attributed to a unified strategy and strong alliance cohesion, particularly in contrast to the Mahagathbandhan (MGB), which faced coordination challenges. While Prashant Kishor will observe a day-long silent fast at Bhitiharwa Gandhi Ashram in West Champaran bearing the responsibility for his party’s debacle in the recently concluded Assembly elections.

Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav has been re-elected as the leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Legislature Party amidst internal party strife.

The upcoming government formation has generated considerable excitement, with BJP leaders calling the oath-taking ceremony “historic” due to the high-profile attendance.
