About half of the Muslim population of Bihar lives in the assembly segments of this third phase.

But this phase was also special because in many of the seats here, the competition was not between the two main parties or triangular, but triangular.

In the third phase, Rashtriya Lok Samata Party of Upendra Kushwaha, AIMIM of Asaduddin Owaisi, BSP of Mayawati and Jan Adhikar Party of former MP Pappu Yadav were also in the competition.

In the year 2015, out of these 78 seats, 54 seats were won by Janata Dal United, Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress alliance. At the same time, BJP, LJP, RLSP and Jeetan Ram Manjhi's Hindustan Awam Morcha were part of the NDA which won 24 seats. But in this, BJP got the maximum 19 seats.

This time there is no JDU in the grand alliance and LJP did not contest elections with NDA.

For the third phase, BJP fielded 35 candidates and JDU fielded 37 candidates. At the same time, five candidates of Mukesh Sahni's Developing Insan Party were trying their luck.

At the same time, RJD had fielded 46 seats and Congress 25 seats.
