India, Nov. 14 -- As NDA looks set to sweep the Bihar assembly election, the state seems to have given Nitish Kumar, a chief minister without a constituency, another term.

Nitish Kumar did not contest the 2025 Bihar assembly election and is instead a member of the state's Legislative Council, the upper house. Ever since taking over the CM chair in Patna, he has never contested elections. In fact, the last time he was a member of the Bihar legislative assembly was in 1985, when he won the Harnaut seat.

Kumar last contested a seat in the assembly in 1995 from Harnaut, but failed to retain it. Since then, he has always taken the Legislative Council route. Bihar is one of the few states in India which has a bicameral legislature.
