BJP's Vijay Sinha Leads in Lakhisarai, Defying 2020 Margin: Bihar Election 2025 Updates

Bihar's Lakhisarai assembly constituency is witnessing a repeat of 2020, with BJP's deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha maintaining a significant lead. According to the Election Commission of India, Sinha is ahead of Congress leader Amaresh Kumar by over 12,000 votes. This is the same margin Sinha secured in the 2020 assembly elections, where he defeated Kumar by more than 10,400 votes. In the ongoing Bihar assembly elections, Lakhisarai voted in Phase 1, recording a 63.46% voter turnout. Most exit polls predict a win for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the state, but leaders from the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Jan Suraaj have dismissed these predictions. The Lakhisarai constituency is witnessing a three-way contest, with Congress leader Amaresh Kumar and Jan Suraaj's Suraj Kumar Malviya challenging Sinha. Counting has started across the state, with NDA candidate and nine-time chief minister Nitish Kumar aiming to retain the CM seat, while leader of the opposition and son of former chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, hopes to lead the RJD and Mahagathbandhan to victory. The outcome of the Lakhisarai constituency will be a crucial indicator of the NDA's performance in the state.
