Sandesh Election Results: Sandesh, on the outskirts of Patna, blends agrarian roots with suburban growth. With 69% turnout, the 2025 polls may show if caste loyalties yield to development-driven politics.
Sandesh Election Result 2025 OUT: Sandesh — a primarily rural constituency in Bhojpur district — has long been defined by agriculture, caste networks and legacy family politics. But, the 2025 contest opens a big question, which is, will the rural terrain and traditional caste blocs continue to dominate, or will issues like agricultural distress, youth migration and rural infrastructure reshape the narrative? The constituency’s low past turnout and shifting demographics hint that entrenched patterns may be under strain.
Radha Charan Sah of JDU is the new MLA of Sandesh.
Radha Charan Sah from JDU has won the Bihar Vidhan Sabha Election from Sandesh and has become the newest MLA with the total votes of 80,598 and the margin of 27.
Polling in Sandesh was conducted on 6 November 2025 (Phase 1 of the Bihar elections). The counting and result announcement are scheduled for 14 November 2025.
This date will finalize the outcome in a seat that observers regard as a potential bell-wether for rural Bihar’s evolving politics.
The current MLA from Sandesh is Kiran Devi of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), elected in 2020. Her victory reflected a shift from earlier agrarian-caste based politics; her performance and ground-contact are now being scrutinised ahead of the 2025 contest.
In 2010, the seat was won by Sanjay Singh (Tiger) of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) — a result that surprised many given the constituency’s rural character. That election underscored how anti-incumbency and local family dynamics could override broader caste alignments even in deeply rural seats.
In 2015, Arun Kumar of the RJD emerged victorious with approximately 74,306 votes (~49.79 % share). His win signalled not just party strength but also how local leadership and shifting allegiances among youth and marginalised voters were coming into play.
In 2020, Kiran Devi (RJD) claimed the seat with ~79,599 votes (~51.54 % vote share), defeating her nearest rival by roughly 50,607 votes. The margin was large for Sandesh, indicating strong voter endorsement — yet analysts flagged that turnout remained modest, hinting at latent disengagement.
For 2025, preliminary reports show a turnout of approximately 61.76% in Sandesh during Phase 1 polling. This rise from earlier cycles suggests heightened engagement, possibly driven by increased youth mobilisation and local issues gaining traction.
The victory margin in 2020 was around 50,607 votes — one of the largest in Sandesh in recent decades. Such a margin implies strong public support for the incumbent, but equally raises questions about how challengers may affect the next margin.
Sandesh is Constituency No. 192, located in Bh o j p u r district, Bihar. It falls under the Arrah Lok Sabha constituency. Comprising the blocks of Sandesh, Udwantnagar and parts of Koilwar, the seat spans agrarian and semi-rural zones, making it a micro-cosm of rural Bihar’s electoral shifts.

The Sandesh Assembly constituency has a total of approximately 2,94,047 registered voters, including 1,54,806 male voters, 1,39,240 female voters, and 1 voters from the third gender.
The Sandesh Assembly constituency was established in 1957 following the post-independence delimitation. Over the decades it has seen multiple party shifts, making it less of a safe seat and more of a contest zone.
The pincode for the Sandesh constituency in Bihar is 802164.
Agrarian distress is prominent: fertile lands near the Sone river are being stressed by irrigation, canal shortfalls and climate pressures.
Youth migration to Patna and beyond for jobs means local demographic and voter profiles are shifting—commuter and working families are a growing segment.
Rural infrastructure demands—roads, digital connectivity, flood resilience, livelihoods beyond farming—are gaining electoral significance.
If the 2025 result shows a close margin or surprise win, it would underscore that even rural-anchored constituencies are embracing performance-based voting, challenging long-standing identity politics.
