Triveniganj Assembly Constituency Awaits Verdict in Tightly Contested Bihar Polls
The political fate of Triveniganj Assembly constituency in Bihar hangs in the balance as vote counting begins for the 2025 state elections. This Scheduled Caste reserved seat went to polls on November 11, 2025, during the second phase of Bihar's grueling electoral battle for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats.
The constituency witnessed a keen contest between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition Mahagathbandhan, reflecting the larger political tussle unfolding across the state. With a voter turnout of 57.3% recorded across Bihar, slightly higher than the 2020 figures, political analysts are watching Triveniganj closely as a potential bellwether seat.
Key Candidates in the Fray for Triveniganj Seat
This election season, Triveniganj saw several prominent candidates battling for electoral supremacy. The Janata Dal (United) has fielded Sonam Rani, a 27-year-old post-graduate, hoping to retain the seat that the party won in the previous elections.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has pinned its hopes on Santosh Kumar, a 39-year-old graduate who was the runner-up in the 2020 assembly polls. Other significant contenders include Pradeep Ram from the Jan Suraaj Party, Jitendra Ram of the Rashtriya Jansambhavna Party, and Sanjay Ram representing the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
Historical Context and Previous Election Performance
In the 2020 Assembly elections, JD(U)'s Veena Bharti emerged victorious from Triveniganj, defeating RJD's Santosh Kumar by a margin of 3,031 votes. Bharti secured 79,458 votes while Kumar managed to get 76,427 votes.
The constituency has shown a tendency to alternate between political alliances in previous elections, making it one of the closely watched seats in the Supaul district region. The 2025 contest is particularly significant as it tests whether the JD(U) can maintain its hold or if the RJD-led opposition can make inroads.
Broader Electoral Landscape in Bihar
The Triveniganj results will contribute to the larger narrative of whether the NDA alliance comprising JD(U) and BJP maintains its dominance or if the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan manages to swing the political pendulum in its favor.
Elections for the 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly were conducted in two phases on November 6 and November 11, 2025. The counting of votes and declaration of results will determine the formation of the next state government and the political direction of one of India's most crucial Hindi-heartland states.
As the election machinery works through the counting process, all eyes remain on key constituencies like Triveniganj that often provide early indications of broader electoral trends across Bihar's complex political landscape.
