Article 2: Nitish Kumar Set for Record 10th Term as Bihar Chief Minister

Patna, India – Nitish Kumar is poised to become the Chief Minister of Bihar for a record-breaking tenth time, after being elected leader of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state. The NDA legislature party meeting, attended by key leaders including Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and LJP (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan, officially designated Kumar as their leader.

Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Sinha are expected to continue as Deputy Chief Ministers in the new government, which commands a strong majority in the assembly with 202 seats.

His Janata Dal (United) party has proven pivotal in maintaining power in Bihar, even without securing an outright majority.

The swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to take place at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan.
