The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections have placed Shahpur — one of the most politically significant constituencies in Bhojpur district — at the heart of the state’s electoral discourse. Known for its rich political legacy and strong grassroots mobilisation, Shahpur has long mirrored Bihar’s evolving socio-political identity.
Historically, the constituency has been a Left-leaning stronghold, where ideological politics and agrarian issues once dominated public debate. Over time, however, Shahpur has transitioned into a multi-party battleground, with the RJD, JD(U), and BJP emerging as key contenders. This shift reflects a broader transformation in Bihar’s political landscape — where questions of development, representation, and social justice intersect with caste and community dynamics.
As Bihar moves toward a decisive 2025 election, Shahpur is expected to witness a high-intensity multi-cornered contest, one that could shape the balance of power across Bhojpur and influence the broader regional narrative.
The Shahpur Assembly Election 2025 will be held on November 6, 2025.
In the 2020 election, RJD's Rahul Tiwary emerged victorious with 64,393 votes, achieving a lead of 22,883 votes and capturing 41.14% of the total vote share.
