List of Chief Ministers of Bihar
The Chief Minister of Bihar is the chief executive of the Indian state of Bihar. According to the Constitution of India, the Governor of Bihar is the legal head of the state, but actual executive authority rests with the Chief Minister.
Following elections to the Bihar Legislative Assembly, the Governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority to form the government.
The Governor appoints the Chief Minister, whose Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly. Given that he enjoys the confidence of the Assembly, the Chief Minister’s tenure is for five years and is not subject to any term limit.
Since 1946, 23 people have been the Chief Minister of Bihar. The inaugural holder was Shri Krishna Sinha of the Indian National Congress Party, he also has the longest tenure. The current incumbent is Nitish Kumar who has been in power since 22 February 2015.
