Bihar election results: Nitish Kumar prepares for 7th oath as CM
11-Nov-2020
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has emerged victorious in the tightly-contested Bihar assembly elections, indicating that the JD(U)'s Nitish Kumar is all set to take oath as chief minister of the state for the seventh time. The NDA alliance secured 125 seats, three more than the magic number of 122, after 18 hours of tense vote counting. While Nitish Kumar's JD(U) saw its seat share slump sharply in this year's state assembly election, he is poised to become the chief minister again. He will become the 37th chief minister of the state. Kumar has already served three full terms as the state's chief minister and is now all set to get his fourth term. However, it may be noted that 69-year-old Nitish Kumar has taken oath six times as Bihar chief minister and this will be the seventh time.
