Arrah Election 2025: Arrah, a key Bhojpur seat, blends urban growth with rural roots. The 2025 polls test if development and youth issues can outweigh caste and legacy politics.
Arrah Election Result 2025 OUT: Arrah — the district headquarters in Bhojpur, blending urban wards and rural blocks — now epitomises the tension between legacy caste politics, urbanising commuter belts and youth-driven development demands. With counting scheduled for 14 November 2025, the central question is whether the city-fringe, infrastructure-focused electorate will lean into change or revert to identity and incumbent loyalty.
Sanjay Singh (TIGER) of BJP is the new MLA of Arrah.
Sanjay Singh (TIGER) from BJP has won the Bihar Vidhan Sabha Election from Phulwari and has become the newest MLA with the total votes of 94,201 and the margin of 19,581.
Polling in Arrah was held on 6 November 2025 (Phase 1). The counting and result announcement are scheduled for 14 November 2025. Given the mixed urban-rural character of the constituency, the 2025 date marks a pivotal turning point for local politics and for Bhojpur’s wider electoral trends.
The sitting MLA from Arrah is Amrendra Pratap Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His tenure will be under scrutiny as urban concerns and civic challenges through the Arrah municipal zone merge with shifting rural precincts.
In 2010, Amrendra Pratap Singh (BJP) won the seat. The 2010 result underscored the BJP’s early strength in the constituency, but also marked the beginning of tighter margins and more volatile contests.
In 2015, Mohammad Nawaz Alam of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) reclaimed the seat for his party with a narrow win over the BJP incumbent. This shift highlighted the constituency’s swing nature and pointed to how urban-rural mix and local issues could override broader party waves.
In 2020, Amrendra Pratap Singh (BJP) won with 71,781 votes (~45.05 %) versus the runner-up from the CPI(ML)(L) with 68,779 votes (~43.17 %). Margin: ~3,002 votes. The narrow margin emphasised how competitive Arrah has become—underscoring how constituency dynamics are no longer safe for incumbents.
For 2025, Arrah registered a voter turnout of approximately 56.38% in Phase 1. Moderate turnout in this mixed urban-rural seat signals both potential disengagement in town wards and mobilisation in peripheral zones.
The victory margin in 2020 was about ~3,002 votes — one of the tightest in the district. Such tight margins suggest that even small shifts in urban-fringe or commuter voter behaviour could flip the seat.
Arrah is Constituency No. 194, located in Bhojpur district, Bihar and falls under the Arrah Lok Sabha constituency. The constituency covers the Arrah municipal corporation, adjoining rural blocks (Sandia, Koilwar, etc) — making it a hybrid zone with urban + rural voter profiles.
