Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling coalition appeared on track to retain power in the eastern state of Bihar on Friday, according to early counting trends from the two-phase election released by the Election Commission of India.

The vote is widely seen as a key test for Modi’s National Democratic Alliance, which includes Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United), or JD (U). Bihar is currently governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party and the JD (U). The opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal, led by Lalu Prasad Yadav, is contesting the polls in alliance with the Indian National Congress.

Janata Dal is also a key partner of the National Democratic Alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, which governs the federal administration.
