As per the Constitution of India, the Governor of Bihar is the state's de jure head, but de facto 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 of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1] From 1946, 23 people have been Chief Minister of Bihar. The inaugural holder was Sri Krishna Sinha of the Indian National Congress, he also has the longest incumbency. The current incumbent is Nitish Kumar who resigned on 26 July 2017 but was again sworn in as the CM on 27 July 2017 with new cabinet ministers hence having incumbency since 22 February 2015 including 1 day as care taker.

When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.[4]}} (President's rule) | 29 June 1968 | 26 February 1969 | N/A | | 9 | | {{small>MLA for Nayagram}} 26 February 1969 | 22 June 1969 | 117 days | Indian National Congress | | (8) | | {{small>MLA for Korha}} 22 June 1969 | 4 July 1969 | 13 days | Indian National Congress (O) | | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 6 July 1969 | 16 February 1970 | N/A | | 10 | | {{small>MLA for Parsa}} 16 February. 1970 | 22 December 1970 | 310 days | Indian National Congress | | 11 | | {{small>MLA for Tajpur}} 22 December 1970 | 2 June 1971 | 163 days | Socialist Party | | (8) | | {{small>MLA for Korha}} 2 June 1971 | 9 January 1972 | 222 days (total 335 days) | Indian National Congress | | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 9 January 1972 | 19 March 1972 | N/A | | 12 | | {{small>MLA for Nautan}} 19 March 1972 | 2 July 1973 | 471 days | Indian National Congress | | 13 | Abdul Gafoor | 2 July 1973 | 11 April 1975 | 649 days | 14 | | {{small>MLA for Jhanjharpur}} 11 April 1975 | 30 April 1977 | 750 days | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 30 April 1977 | 24 June 1977 | N/A | | (11) | Karpoori Thakur | 24 June 1977 | 21 April 1979 | 668 days | Janata Party | | 15 | | {{small>MLA for Sonepur}} 21 April 1979 | 17 February 1980 | 303 days | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 17 February 1980 | 8 June 1980 | N/A | | (14) | | {{small>MLA for Jhanjharpur}} 8 June 1980 | 14 August 1983 | 1133 days | Indian National Congress (I) | | 16 | Chandrashekhar Singh | 14 August 1983 | 12 March 1985 | 577 days | 17 | | {{small>MLA for Shahpur}} 12 March 1985 | 13 February 1988 | 1068 days | 18 | | {{small>MLC}} 14 February 1988 | 10 March 1989 | 391 days | 19 | | {{small>MLC}} 11 March 1989 | 6 December 1989 | 271 days | (14) | | {{small>MLA for Jhanjharpur}} 6 December 1989 | 10 March 1990 | 95 days (total 1978 days) | 20 | | {{small>MLC}} 10 March 1990 | 28 March 1995 | 1845 days | Janata Dal | | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 28 March 1995 | 4 April 1995 | N/A | | (20) | | {{small>MLA for Raghopur}} 4 April 1995 | 25 July 1997 | 844 days (total 2689 days) | Janata Dal, Rashtriya Janata Dal | | 21 | | {{small>MLC}} 25 July 1997 | 11 February 1999 | 538 days | Rashtriya Janata Dal | | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 11 February 1999 | 9 March 1999 | N/A | | (21) | | {{small>MLC}} 9 March 1999 | 2 March 2000 | 359 days | Rashtriya Janata Dal | | 22 | Nitish Kumar | 3 March 2000 | 10 March 2000 | 8 days | Samata Party[5] | | (21) | On 15 November 2000, the new state of Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar.}} {{small|MLA for Raghopur}} | 11 March 2000 | 6 March 2005 | 1821 days (total 2718 days) | Rashtriya Janata Dal | | – | name=PR}} (President's rule) | 7 March 2005 | 24 November 2005 | N/A | | (22) | Nitish Kumar [2] {{small|MLC}} | 24 November 2005 | 26 November 2010 | {{Age in days|2005|11|24|2014|5|20}} days | Janata Dal (United) | | 14th Assembly (2005–10) (October 2005 election) | 26 November 2010 | 20 May 2014 | 15th Assembly (2010–15) (2010 election) | 23 | | {{small>MLA for Makhdumpur}} 20 May 2014 | 22 February 2015 | 2014|05|20|2015|2|22}} days | (22) | Nitish Kumar [3] {{small|MLC}} | 22 February 2015 | 20 November 2015 | {{Age in days|2015|02|22}} days | 20 November 2015 | Incumbent | 16th Assembly (2015–20) (2015 election) | |
