The ruling NDA, the opposition Mahagathbandhan (MGB) and Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) are all in the fray. In the high-profile Patna graduates’ constituency, the contest has been further complicated by the open rift within the JD(U), with Mokama MLA Anant Singh backing a rival candidate of JSP against the party’s official nominee.Opposition leaders had already alleged misuse of administrative machinery and possible voter impersonation during polling. Tejashwi Yadav had accused the government of slowing down the voting process to facilitate “vote theft.” Monday’s memorandum is the latest formal step by the RJD to put these concerns on record ahead of the crucial counting day, HT reported earlier.Oct 27, 2026, 07:25:11 ISTMLC election results 2026 LIVE: Bihar to witness contest on 8 seatsMLC election results 2026 LIVE: Voting took pace on eight seats in Bihar on October 23.

The fiercely contested Vidhan Parishad elections from 11 teachers’ and graduates’ constituencies across the state may be small in terms of the electorate size but their outcome on October 27 may send a big political message ahead of the assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, offering an early indication of the BJP’s organisational strength and the Samajwadi Party’s (SP) ability to challenge the ruling party. Experts believe that for the BJP, the results will be an opportunity to show that its organisational strength remains intact after the setback suffered in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. For the SP, it is pointed out, a strong performance would provide an opportunity to claim that the ruling party’s dominance is being challenged and that the Opposition can exploit local grievances and rivalries to its advantage, HT reported earlier.Oct 27, 2026, 07:12:57 ISTMLC election results 2026 LIVE: Results to be declared for UP, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka todayMLC election results 2026 LIVE: Results for 28 seats across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Karnataka will be declared on Tuesday.
