Patna Sahib Assembly Election Results 2020 Live: The seat was won by BJP’s Nand Kishore Yadav in the last assembly elections. The counting of votes for Patna Sahib which went to polls on November 3 will begin soon. Nitish Kumar is seeking a fourth term as chief minister of the politically significant Bihar. In the last assembly elections which Nitish’s JD(U) had fought with now-rival RJD, his party had won 71 seats.
BJP leader Nand Kishor Yadav is eying his 7th consecutive win from this constituency and is pitted against Congress leader Pravin Singh. Patna Sahib is considered as a traditional bastion of the BJP as no party has defeated Nand Kishore since 1995.

Nitish’s JD(U) will contest 122 seats and the BJP 121, whereas the other partners of the NDA alliance—the Jitan Ram Manjhi-led HAM and Mukesh Sahni’s VIP—will be accommodated in JD(U) and BJP’s quota of seats.
