Seat change
Against Bihar's previous Vidhan Sabha election (1990), matched constituency-for-constituency
- Retained137 (42%)
- Changed hands179 (55%)
- New seat8 (2%)
137 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 179 changed hands. 8 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.
