Samrat Choudhary was born on 16 November 1968 in Lakhnapur village in Munger district, Bihar. He comes from a political family; his father, Shakuni Choudhary, was a long-serving politician who represented Tarapur and served in Parliament and the Bihar legislature. Samrat Choudhary entered active politics in the 1990s and subsequently worked in different political organizations before joining the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2017.
His early political career was associated with Bihar's RJD-led political environment. He became a minister in the Rabri Devi government in 1999 and later represented the Parbatta Assembly constituency. He returned to the Bihar Assembly from Parbatta in 2010 and served as Chief Whip of the opposition during that period.
In 2014, Choudhary joined the JD(U)-led state government and handled ministerial responsibilities including urban development and housing. He subsequently became a member of the Bihar Legislative Council. After joining the BJP in 2017, he took on organizational responsibilities in the party and became one of its prominent leaders in Bihar.
Choudhary was appointed President of the Bihar BJP in 2023. In January 2024, he became Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar in the NDA government and continued in that position until his elevation to the Chief Minister's office in April 2026.
In the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, Choudhary contested from the Tarapur constituency on a BJP ticket and was elected. His election affidavit identifies him as a BJP candidate and records his educational qualification as an honorary Doctor of Literature from PFC Kamraj University.
On 15 April 2026, Samrat Choudhary took oath as Chief Minister of Bihar. The Bihar Chief Minister Secretariat currently identifies him as the state's Chief Minister and describes his governmental focus in areas including infrastructure, employment, industrial growth, education, healthcare, investment and public-service delivery.
His political journey spans more than three decades and includes experience in legislative politics, state administration and party organization. His transition from ministerial and organizational responsibilities to the Chief Minister's office represents a significant stage in his political career and in the BJP's leadership of the Bihar government.
