Sugauli Assembly Constituency Awaits 2025 Election Verdict
The political fate of Sugauli assembly constituency in Bihar hangs in balance as counting begins for the 2025 Vidhan Sabha elections. This crucial constituency went to polls on November 11, 2025, during the second phase of Bihar's assembly elections that covered all 243 seats across the state.
Key Candidates in the Fray for Sugauli Seat
Several prominent candidates contested for the Sugauli assembly seat in what promises to be a closely watched battle. The main contenders include Rajesh Kumar Alias Bablu Gupta representing the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Ajay Kumar Jha from the Jan Suraaj Party, and Shyam Kishor Chaudhary of the Janshakti Janta Dal. Other significant candidates in the race are Jitendra Tiwari from Kisan Suraj Dal and Zulfiquar Aftab representing the BSP.
The electoral history adds intrigue to this contest. In the previous assembly elections, Er. Shashi Bhushan Singh of the RJD secured victory with a margin of 3,447 votes. The runner-up was Ramchandra Sahani of the VSIP who gathered 61,820 votes despite falling short.
Bihar's Electoral Landscape and Voter Participation
Bihar witnessed a significant 57.3% voter turnout in the 2025 assembly elections, showing a slight increase compared to the 2020 figures. The electoral battle primarily featured two major alliances - the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan and the NDA coalition comprising JD(U), BJP and other partners - competing for dominance in the state.
The elections were conducted in two phases on November 6, 2025 and November 11, 2025, with counting scheduled for November 14, 2025. Political observers closely monitored the Sugauli constituency given its history of competitive contests and the presence of multiple strong candidates representing both regional and national parties.
As the election results unfold, all eyes remain on Sugauli to see whether the incumbent party retains the seat or if new political forces manage to make their mark in this significant Bihar constituency.
