Votes are being counted on all 243 seats. The magic figure to form the government is 122.
After the third phase of voting on November 7, Exit polls largely predicted a win for the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan in the election. As per the poll of polls, the MGB is likely to win 134 seats while the Nitish Kumar-led NDA is expected to bag 101 seats, way short of the magic number of 122.
The exit polls only provide a sneak peek into the path which Bihar is likely to take – whether to bring the incumbent National Democratic Alliance (NDA) back to power or give a chance to the opposition Mahagathbandhan.
