Bihar Chief Minister (CM) Samrat Choudhary won the vote of trust in the state Legislative Assembly. Assembly Speaker Prem Kumar congratulated the new government on winning the confidence motion in the House.

Choudhary moved the motion, proposing that 'the House reposes its trust in the current council of ministers in the state', during a one-day special session. The motion was passed by a voice vote in the 243-member Assembly, where the BJP-led NDA holds a commanding 202 seats. The confidence motion received strong support from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (United), and other NDA allies, confirming their confidence in Samrat Choudhary’s leadership.

Samrat Choudhary became the first BJP leader to head a government in the state earlier this month following the resignation of Janata Dal-United president Nitish Kumar, who gave up the top post upon getting elected to the Rajya Sabha.

Only two JD-U leaders, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Bijendra Prasad Yadav, were inducted into the new cabinet and designated as deputy chief ministers. Along with the JD-U, the BJP-led coalition in the state includes the Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas of Union minister Chirag Paswan, the Hindustani Awam Morcha headed by Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha.
