Seat change

Against Bihar's previous Vidhan Sabha election (2010), matched constituency-for-constituency

243SEATS
  • Retained108 (44%)
  • Changed hands135 (56%)

108 constituencies were won by the same party as last time; 135 changed hands.

India’s constituencies have not been redrawn since the 2008 delimitation, so this compares the same seat boundary both times.
