BJP candidate Narendra Prasad Singh secured the Tirhut seat in the Bihar Legislative Council election, with Jan Suraj’s Dr. Suresh Rai in second place.
The counting of votes for the Bihar Legislative Council’s eight seats is underway, but only the result from the Tirhut constituency has been declared so far. BJP’s Narendra Prasad Singh emerged victorious, edging out Jan Suraj Party’s Dr. Suresh Rai, who remains in the runner‑up position.
Election officials noted that the ballot papers have been fully processed, and the remaining seats may take additional time to be announced due to the staggered counting schedule. Voter turnout in the Tirhut area was reported as moderate, with the trend of results shifting slowly as counting progresses.
The outcome adds to the BJP’s presence in the state’s upper house, while Jan Suraj’s performance indicates a competitive challenge in the region. Further results are expected in the coming days as the remaining seven seats are tallied.
