As the ruling NDA steamrolled the Mahagathbandhan to retain power in Bihar, all but one of the 25 state ministers in the fray secured their seats.

Bihar Assembly Elections: NDA falls one short of a full ministerial sweep

Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, both from the BJP, won Tarapur and Lakhisarai assembly seats. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has been a member of the legislative council (MLC), did not contest the assembly elections. Altogether 15 ministers from the BJP had contested the polls and emerged victorious.

Agriculture minister Prem Kumar, a BJP veteran, retained Gaya Town for an eighth consecutive term, a record equalled by his JD(U) cabinet colleague Bijendra Yadav (Supaul). Another minister Raju Kumar Singh, who had been elected from Sahebganj in 2020 on a ticket of Vikassheel Insan Party and later defected to the BJP, retained the seat. He contested the assembly segment this time on a saffron party's ticket.
