Counting is underway for the Motihari seat in Bihar, where Pramod Kumar of the BJP is facing Dewa Gupta of RJD and Atul Kumar of Jan Suraaj Party.
Motihari is the district headquarters of the East Champaran district. The constituency, which is one of the 243 seats in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, voted in the second phase of polling on November 11, 2025. The voter turnout was 73%.
In the 2020 assembly polls, Pramod Kumar of the BJP had won by a margin of 7.8% over RJD's Om Prakash Chaudhary.
Kumar had won in the 2015 elections as well against Binod Kumar Shrivastava of the RJD.
Bihar Assembly Election 2025, conducted in two phases, is mainly a battle between the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Mahagathbandhan and the Jan Suraaj Party.
While the NDA comprises BJP, JD(U), Lok Janshakti Party (LJP-RV), Hindustani Awam Morcha, and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM); the Mahagathbandhan bloc has Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation, Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP).
NDTV's Poll Of Exit Polls, which is an aggregate of the predictions, suggests the NDA will win 146 seats, well over the majority mark of 122, the Mahagathbandhan will be restricted to just 91 — 19 lower than its 2020 tally of 110 — and the Jan Suraaj Party will get just 1 seat.
