Bihar votes for change or continuity in the closely contested 2025 Assembly polls.
The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections are heating up as voters gear up to decide on key issues such as infrastructure growth, job creation, school standards, healthcare access, and safe public order. With 243 seats up for grabs, every constituency matters — and political parties have already announced their candidate lists in earnest. A party or alliance must secure at least 122 seats to stake a claim to power in the state.
Among the high-stakes seats to watch are Raghopur in Vaishali district, where RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is contesting, and Mahua, also in Vaishali, which has drawn intense buzz thanks to its past razor-thin margins. In central Bihar, the seat of Sheohar stands out for its top-tier contest, while in the south, districts like Siwan and Gopalganj will play pivotal roles in shaping the outcome.
Emerging parties and new faces are also entering the fray, adding fresh dynamics to the traditional rivalry between the ruling NDA (led by BJP and JD(U)) and the opposition Mahagathbandhan (led by RJD and Congress). With sharp competition in key seats and shifting alliances, the 2025 Bihar election promises to be a defining moment for many voters and politicians alike.
The Samastipur Assembly Election 2025 will be held on November 6, 2025.
In the 2020 election, RJD’s Akhtarul Islam Shahin emerged victorious with 68,507 votes, achieving a lead of 4,714 votes and capturing 41.21% of the total vote share.
The voting will start at 7:00 AM and will conclude at 5:00 PM.
As per the 2011 Census, Samastipur had a total population of 4,261,566, comprising 2,230,003 males and 2,031,563 females. The district accounted for 4.09% of Maharashtra’s total population, the same proportion recorded in the 2001 Census.
In terms of demographics, Scheduled Castes comprise 18.63% of the voters, while Muslims account for 16.2%. Rural voters make up nearly 80% of the electorate. The voter count declined slightly from 279,144 in 2020 to 276,876 in 2024, likely due to migration or voter list revisions. The 2025 voter roll will be crucial in revealing whether this downward trend persists.
Samastipur, located in Bihar’s Samastipur district, has been part of India’s electoral landscape since it became an Assembly constituency in 1972.
