Nitish Kumar poised for 10th term: A look at India's longest-serving Chief Ministers
New Delhi: With Nitish Kumar’s alliance once again coming into power in Bihar, it will most likely be JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar, the Bihar’s longest-serving Chief Minister, poised to take oath for the record 10th time.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) delivered a crushing blow to Mahagathabandhan as they swept their opposition by winning 202 seats out of 243 to retain power in Bihar.
Nitish’s JD(U) contested the election on 101 seats and won 89, and became the second largest party in Bihar after the BJP.
