The election was held in three phases for a total of 243 seats:- the first for 71 seats on 28 October 2020, the second for 94 seats on 3 November 2020, and the third for the remaining 78 seats on 7 November 2020. The counting of votes began on 10 November 2020 and the incumbent National Democratic Alliance emerged as the winner with 125 elected MLAs, whereas the principal opposition coalition of Mahagathbandhan won 110 seats.{{Cite news|date=2020-11-11|title=Bihar election: India's BJP coalition wins key state election|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-54883737|access-date=2020-11-15|archive-date=12 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112032413/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-54883737|url-status=live}} Other minor coalitions and parties won 7 seats while only 1 newly elected MLA was an independent.{{Cite web|title=Election Commission of India|url=https://results.eci.gov.in/ACTRENDS2020/partywiseresult-S04.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201110025739/https://results.eci.gov.in/ACTRENDS2020/partywiseresult-S04.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 November 2020|access-date=2020-11-15|website=results.eci.gov.in}}

After the elections, the incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was elected as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance in Bihar and was sworn in again as Chief Minister, whereas two new deputy Chief Ministers, Tarkishore Prasad and Renu Devi were inducted to the new ministry.{{Cite news|last=Tewary|first=Amarnath|date=2020-11-16|title=Nitish Kumar sworn in as Bihar CM again|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/elections/bihar-assembly/nitish-kumar-returns-as-bihar-cm-for-seventh-time-in-20-years/article33107918.ece|access-date=2020-11-16|issn=0971-751X|archive-date=16 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201116124633/https://www.thehindu.com/elections/bihar-assembly/nitish-kumar-returns-as-bihar-cm-for-seventh-time-in-20-years/article33107918.ece|url-status=live}} On the other side, Tejashwi Yadav was elected Leader of the Opposition, and also leader of the Mahagathbandhan alliance.

Background

Outlined in Article 168 of the Constitution of India, the Bihar Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the bicameral legislature of Bihar and not a permanent body and subject to dissolution.{{Cite web|title=Article 168 in The Constitution Of India 1949|url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1555093/|access-date=13 October 2020|website=Indiankanoon.org|archive-date=18 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201218182338/https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1555093/|url-status=live}} The tenure of the Legislative Assembly is five years from the date appointed for its first sitting unless dissolved sooner. Members of the Legislative Assembly are directly elected by the people. The Tenure of current Bihar Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on 29 November 2020.{{Cite web|date=2020-09-25|title=Bihar Assembly Elections 2020 dates announced, to be conducted from Oct 28-Nov 7 in 3 phases|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-bihar-assembly-elections-2020-poll-dates-to-be-announced-today-election-commission-2845206|access-date=2020-09-30|website=DNA India|archive-date=1 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001010535/https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-bihar-assembly-elections-2020-poll-dates-to-be-announced-today-election-commission-2845206|url-status=live}}

In the previous election, an alliance of three Major Parties consisting of Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal and Indian National Congress named as Mahagathbandhan won against its primary opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party led National Democratic Alliance. However, in 2017, the Janata Dal (United) Chief Minister Nitish Kumar left the Mahagathbandhan and joined the National Democratic Alliance.{{Cite news|title=Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) passes resolution to join NDA - Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/nitish-kumar-led-jdu-passes-resolution-to-join-nda/articleshow/60131233.cms|access-date=2020-10-13|website=The Times of India|date=19 August 2017|archive-date=14 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201014084432/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/nitish-kumar-led-jdu-passes-resolution-to-join-nda/articleshow/60131233.cms|url-status=live}} While Nitish Kumar remained the Chief Minister, Sushil Kumar Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party replaced Tejashwi Yadav as the Deputy Chief Minister.

The main issue was that of the jobs and the economy. Bihar, for a long time, has been an economically backward state and sends large numbers of migrant laborers to cities across the country. Due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, thousands of migrant laborers were forced to return to their home states due to lack of work, and Bihar was one of the most affected by the ensuing humanitarian crisis. Many of these workers blamed the current government for not having jobs for them in the first place, and not providing jobs when the lockdown started. There was also a significant anti-incumbency wave against Nitish, who had been CM for 15 years.{{Cite web|last=hermes|date=2020-11-07|title=Jobs a key issue in Bihar's election amid Covid-19|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/south-asia/jobs-a-key-issue-in-bihars-election-amid-covid-19|access-date=2020-11-07|website=The Straits Times|archive-date=7 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107090321/https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/south-asia/jobs-a-key-issue-in-bihars-election-amid-covid-19|url-status=live}}

The three agriculture bills passed by the Indian Parliament amid nationwide protests was expected to play a key role in the elections.{{Cite web|title=Bihar Election 2020: Key issues that will guide voting and impact results|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/story/bihar-election-covid-pandemic-farm-bills-1726480-2020-09-29|access-date=2020-09-30|website=India Today}}

Issues such as the lack of employment, alleged politicisation of flood relief in the aftermath of the 2019 Bihar floods and alleged inability of the state government to handle the COVID-19 pandemic were expected to be made an election issue by the opposition parties.{{Cite web|date=2020-09-29|title=Bihar election gets a new political constituency - over 16 lakh migrant workers|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bihar-election/bihar-election-gets-a-new-political-constituency-over-16-lakh-migrant-workers/story-M8XiwWwydN5rW6pBvITqLL.html|access-date=2020-10-13|website=Hindustan Times}}{{Cite web|date=2020-09-25|title=Covid to flood: Tracing issues that may impact Bihar polls|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/covid-to-flood-tracing-issues-that-may-impact-bihar-polls/story-iLMMRQkSn0OPq1cCKaC6YN.html|access-date=2020-10-13|website=Hindustan Times|archive-date=6 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201006054247/https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/covid-to-flood-tracing-issues-that-may-impact-bihar-polls/story-iLMMRQkSn0OPq1cCKaC6YN.html|url-status=live}} The limited digital connectivity in Bihar and the migrant crisis were among the issues which may have had an impact on campaigning and poll outcomes.{{Cite web|last=Ranjan|first=Ashish|date=August 28, 2020|title=Deep Dive: Nitish Kumar's road to Bihar throne passes through migrant belt|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/story/deep-dive-nitish-kumar-s-road-to-bihar-throne-passes-through-migrant-belt-1716251-2020-08-28|access-date=2020-10-13|website=India Today|archive-date=18 July 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240718060305/https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/story/deep-dive-nitish-kumar-s-road-to-bihar-throne-passes-through-migrant-belt-1716251-2020-08-28|url-status=live}}

The death of the former Lok Janshakti Party president and union cabinet minister, Ram Vilas Paswan on 8 October 2020 was also speculated to have an effect on the prospects of the competing parties.{{Cite web|last1=Singh|first1=Santosh|last2=Ghose|first2=Dipankar|date=2020-10-09|title=Ram Vilas Paswan's death will cast a shadow on Bihar elections|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ram-vilas-paswan-death-will-cast-a-shadow-on-bihar-elections-6716597/|access-date=2020-10-10|website=The Indian Express|archive-date=11 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201011161253/https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ram-vilas-paswan-death-will-cast-a-shadow-on-bihar-elections-6716597/|url-status=live}}
