Jagdishpur, Bhojpur’s historic seat, faces a shift as commuter voters and youth issues challenge old caste politics ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly results.
Jagdishpur Election Result 2025 OUT: Jagdishpur — a historic seat in Bhojpur district, famously linked to the freedom-fighter Veer Kunwar Singh — is today witnessing a transformation. While legacy caste alignments and rural agrarian networks continue to matter, the growing commuter belt, infrastructure demands and emerging youth electorate are adding fresh layers of contest. With counting set for 14 November 2025, the key question is whether tradition or transition will shape the outcome.
Shribhagwan Singh Kushwaha of JDU is the new MLA of Jagdishpur.
Shribhagwan Singh Kushwaha from JDU has won the Bihar Vidhan Sabha Election from Jagdishpur and has become the newest MLA with the total votes of 92,974 and the margin of 18,193.
Polling in Jagdishpur was held on 6 November 2025 (Phase 1). The counting and the result announcement are scheduled for 14 November 2025. Given the constituency’s mix of rural villages and expanding commuter zones, the date marks a critical moment for local politics.
The sitting MLA from Jagdishpur is Ram Vishun Singh of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), who won the 2020 election. His incumbency and how he responds to changing local priorities will be under scrutiny.
In 2010, the seat was won by Dinesh Kumar Singh of RJD with about 55,560 votes (~43 %) defeating rivals from JD(U). This win marked one of the early signs of volatility in what was earlier considered fairly stable territory.
In 2015, Ram Vishun Singh (RJD) secured the seat with roughly 49,020 votes and a ~34 % vote share. This result highlighted how the electorate was open to change—local leadership mattered as much as party affiliation.
In the 2020 election, Ram Vishun Singh (RJD) won with 66,632 votes (~39.68 % share), defeating his nearest rival by over 22,100 votes. This margin reinforced his strength but also showed the seat was competitive.
For 2025, Jagdishpur recorded a turnout of approximately 60.32% in Phase 1 polling. This moderate turnout suggests engagement, but also potential for new vote mobilisations or latent apathy.
The victory margin in 2020 was about ~22,100 votes (66,632 vs ~44,525). While solid, the margin leaves space for challengers if local dynamics shift.
Jagdishpur is Constituency No. 197, located in Bhojpur district, Bihar. It falls under the Arrah Lok Sabha constituency. The area includes Jagdishpur CD block and parts of Piro CD block, making it a hybrid of agrarian villages, historical towns and evolving commuter zones.
