Seat change
Against Bihar's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1977), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained19 (6%)
- Changed hands290 (90%)
- New seat15 (5%)
19 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 290 changed hands. 15 did not exist at the previous election.
India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
