Bihar Assembly Elections Deliver Shocking Upsets and Historic Wins

Patna, India – November 14, 2025 – The 2025 Bihar Assembly election results have sent shockwaves through the political landscape, marked by unexpected defeats of prominent figures, the rise of new faces, and a historic win for a notorious political family.

Among the most surprising outcomes was the defeat of Tej Pratap Yadav, eldest son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, in the Mahua Assembly constituency. Yadav, who had formed his own party, the Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD), after being expelled from RJD, finished a distant third. Sanjay Kumar Singh of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) secured the victory.

Several incumbent ministers also faced defeat, including Sumit Kumar Singh in Chakai. The Congress party suffered significant losses, with both the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader and the Bihar Congress president losing their respective races.

Despite the setbacks for some, both Deputy Chief Ministers, Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, secured victories in their constituencies.

The election also saw defeats for prominent figures from the entertainment industry, including Bhojpuri actor-singer Khesari Lal Yadav and Ritesh Kumar Pandey. However, folk singer Maithili Thakur emerged as a bright spot, becoming the youngest MLA in Bihar.

In a significant win, Osama Shahab, son of the late don-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin, won the Raghunathpur seat, marking the first electoral victory for the Shahabuddin family in over two decades.

Other notable wins include former Assam-cadre IPS officer Anand Mishra, who won the Buxar seat, and BJP leader Ram Kripal Yadav, who secured victory in Danapur after losing the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

The Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), fielding candidates for the first time, failed to win any seats, while Jyoti Singh, wife of Bhojpuri actor-singer Pawan Singh, lost as an Independent.
