Agiaon (SC) Election 2025: Rural-SC seat in Bhojpur sees rising youth, issues of infrastructure and turnout at 56%. Counting of votes and results are on 14 Nov.
Agiaon Election Result 2025 OUT: Agiaon (SC) — a fully rural, Scheduled-Castes-reserved seat in Bhojpur district — has long been dominated by old-style caste networks, local power-brokers and agrarian loyalties. But in 2025, the story running underneath is different, rising youth out-migration, infrastructure deficits, and the changing nature of rural work challenge those entrenched alignments. The key question: will the seat remain a fortress of identity politics, or will new voter concerns and youth ambition alter the outcome?
Mahesh Paswan of BJP is the new MLA of Agiaon.
Mahesh Paswan from BJP has won the Bihar Vidhan Sabha Election from Agiaon and has become the newest MLA with the total votes of 69,412 and the margin of 95.
Polling for Agiaon took place on 6 November 2025 (Phase 1). The counting of votes and the result announcement are scheduled for 14 November 2025. This date will decide whether the constituency stays locked in legacy patterns or reflects a broader shift in how rural Bihar votes.
The sitting MLA after the 2024 by-election is Shiv Prakash Ranjan of the CPI(ML)(L). His term and engagement with the constituency’s changing demands will be under the spotlight ahead of the 2025 verdict.
In 2010, Shivesh Kumar (BJP) won the seat. That result showed how even rural, reserved seats were beginning to swing beyond traditional strongholds.
In 2015, Prabhunath Prasad (JD(U)) won the seat with around 52,276 votes (~58.18 % share) against BJP’s Shivesh Kumar. This shift indicated that voters were willing to move beyond first-order identity calculations.
In the 2020 election, Manoj Manzil (CPI(ML)(L)) won the seat with 86,327 votes (~61.39 %) defeating his nearest rival from JD(U) who had ~37,777 votes (~26.87 %). Margin was large. This strong win in a reserved rural seat showed emerging dynamics — a young Dalit leader, alternative political formation, and perhaps rising aspiration.
The by-election in Agiaon was held due to the disqualification of the sitting MLA Manoj Manzil (CPI(ML)(L)), who was declared ineligible following a criminal conviction.
In the 22 May 2024 contest, Shiv Prakash Ranjan of the CPI(ML)(L) won with ~73,460 votes (53.31%) defeating Prabhunath Prasad of Janata Dal (United) (~43,625 votes / 31.66%).
While exact final turnout for Agiaon in 2025 is not fully published in public summary, the broader Bhojpur district polling registered around 56.28% turnout by day’s close. Moderate engagement suggests voters are reactive but still constrained by structural issues.
The 2020 margin of victory for Manoj Manzil was approximately 48,550 votes (86,327 – 37,777). Such a margin indicates both a strong mandate and a possible high-water mark — making any shift in 2025 more noteworthy if a challenger closes the gap.
