The Bharatiya Janata Party-Janata Dal United-Lok Janshakti Party just about failed to complete a clean sweep of the 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. The state witnessed a one-sided fight between BJP-led NDA and Mahagathbandhan in Lok Sabha election 2019 with the former winning 39 seats and the latter just one. The Mahagathbandhan comprising of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, Hindustani Awami Morcha, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party and Vikassheel Insaan Party failed to stop Narendra Modi from securing a landslide victory.
Bihar voted in all the seven phases of the Lok Sabha election 2019. A total of 625 candidates were in the fray from the state. The state recorded 53.06% turnout in first phase, 58.14% in second phase, 60% in third phase, 58.92% in fourth phase, 57.86% in fifth phase, 59.38% in sixth phase and 53.55% in seventh phase.
The BJP-JDU alliance emerged a clear winner in the state.
