In April 2026, a major political shift occurred in Bihar when Nitish Kumar resigned from the post of Chief Minister. Following this, Samrat Choudhary was elected as the leader of the NDA legislative party and took over as the new Chief Minister. His appointment marked a historic moment as he became the first Chief Minister from the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state. The swearing-in ceremony took place on April 15, 2026. The new government structure also includes two Deputy Chief Ministers from the Janata Dal (United), reflecting a coalition governance model in the state.
