Both BJP and the Janata Dal (United) JD(U) are ahead on 16 seats. Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) is leading on six seats. As per the seat-sharing pact, while the BJP and JD(U) are contested on 17 seats each, LJP fought on the remaining six.

Meanwhile, among key battles Communist Party of India's (CPI) Kanhaiya Kumar is trailing to BJP leader Giriraj Singh in Begusarai and Ravi Shankar Prasad is leading from Patna Sahib against Congress' Shatrughan Sinha, who had won the seat in 2014 with over 2 lakh votes.
