The results for the Tirhut Graduate and Tirhut Teacher constituencies of the Bihar Legislative Council elections are being declared today. Vote counting commenced at 8 AM in the administrative building located on the MIT campus in Muzaffarpur. Ballot boxes from 203 polling stations across four districts — Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Muzaffarpur, and Vaishali — were sealed in strong rooms on October 23.

MLC Banshidhar Brajwasi, commenting on the counting process, sarcastically remarked on social media that with only 14 bundles of ballot papers prepared out of 14 tables, counting might not begin until 8 PM. However, the first round of results is expected around 12 PM. Election observers are closely monitoring the entire counting process.

Separate counting halls have been established for both constituencies, each equipped with 14 counting tables and an Assistant Returning Officer's table. The process involves first counting ballot papers polling station-wise, followed by bundling them and counting votes for each candidate. Unauthorized entry to the counting center is strictly prohibited, with magistrates inspecting every individual at the entrance.

In the Graduate constituency, the main contest is anticipated between independent incumbent MLC Banshidhar Brajwasi, NDA-backed JDU candidate Abhishek Jha, RJD candidate Rashmi Vinayak Gautam, and Jan Suraj's Dr. Vimohan. For the Teacher constituency, incumbent MLC Sanjay Singh faces challenges from NDA-backed BJP candidate Narendra Singh, Jan Suraj's Shyamnandan Yadav, and independent candidate Bhushan Jha. Prior to counting, supervisors and assistants received special training. DM Kumar Gaurav and SSP Kantesh Kumar Mishra had inspected the strong room security and preparations ahead of the counting.
