Rajnagar Assembly Awaits Verdict in High-Stakes Bihar Election 2025
All eyes are on the Rajnagar Assembly constituency in Bihar as the state awaits the final results for its 243 Vidhan Sabha seats. The electoral fate of Rajnagar was decided on November 11, 2025, during the second phase of the high-voltage Bihar assembly elections. The counting of votes is now underway, determining whether the incumbent National Democratic Alliance (NDA) or the opposition Mahagathbandhan will gain dominance in the state.
Key Candidates in the Fray for Rajnagar Seat
This election season, the Rajnagar constituency witnessed a multi-cornered contest with several prominent candidates vying for the seat. The key contenders include Sujeet Kumar from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Bishnu Deo Mochi representing the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Surendra Kumar Das from the Jan Suraaj Party. Other candidates in the race are Maheshwar Paswan (Bhartiya Chetna Party), Rakesh Kumar (Apni Janta Party), Rampari Devi (Aam Janta Pragati Party), and Siyaram Saday (Bahujan Samaj Party).
The electoral battle is particularly significant given the constituency's history. In the previous 2020 Assembly elections, the seat was won by Dr. Ramprit Paswan of the BJP, who secured a decisive victory by a margin of 19,121 votes. The runner-up was the RJD's Ramawatar Paswan, who managed to gather 70,338 votes.
Bihar's Electoral Landscape and Voter Participation
The Bihar assembly elections of 2025 were conducted in two phases, on November 6 and November 11, 2025. The state recorded a voter turnout of 57.3%, which indicates a slight increase in participation compared to the 2020 elections. The political contest was primarily between the two major regional alliances—the NDA, led by the JD(U) and BJP, and the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan—both fighting fiercely for control of the state's legislative assembly.
As the counting process continues, voters and political analysts are closely monitoring the Rajnagar seat, along with the other 242 constituencies, to see which alliance will ultimately form the government in Bihar. The final results will reveal not only the new MLA for Rajnagar but also the political direction the state will take for the next five years.
