The Bihar Assembly elections have officially entered the candidate nomination phase as of October 11, 2025, marking the first formal step in the state’s electoral process. Prospective candidates from major parties, including Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United), Tejashwi Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), have begun filing their nomination papers with the Election Commission of India. This phase will continue for several days, allowing party representatives and independent aspirants to register for the upcoming polls. The nomination process is a critical precursor to campaigning and electioneering. Past assembly elections, such as those held in 2020, saw heavy competition across Bihar’s 243 legislative constituencies, with prominent leaders like Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav drawing significant voter attention. Observers note that early filing patterns can indicate strategic contests in key regions such as Patna, Gaya, and Muzaffarpur, where political battles are historically intense. The Election Commission has emphasized strict adherence to Model Code of Conduct regulations during the nomination period, ensuring transparency and fairness. Security arrangements and logistical support are being strengthened at nomination centers to manage crowds and maintain order. With the electoral process now underway, political parties are gearing up for intensive campaigns aimed at engaging voters and consolidating their support bases across Bihar. #BiharElections2025 #NitishKumar #TejashwiYadav #BJP #JD(U) #RJD #ElectionCommissionOfIndia #PoliticalProcess #StateElections #NagpurNews
