Bihar Chief Minister-designate Nitish Kumar has been unanimously elected as the leader of the Janata Dal United (JDU) legislature party. The decision was taken during an internal meeting of party legislators held in Patna on Wednesday, November 19, cementing Kumar’s position ahead of the new government formation.
The election comes just days after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a decisive victory in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections, reaffirming the alliance’s stronghold in the state. Party insiders described Kumar’s unanimous selection as a reflection of the confidence and trust he commands within the JDU legislature.
With the leadership confirmed, Nitish Kumar is now set to take the oath as Bihar’s Chief Minister for the upcoming term. Party sources indicated that the cabinet formation and government priorities will be announced soon, focusing on continuing development initiatives and addressing key public concerns.
