## The 2025 Mahua election
Mahua is Assembly constituency number 126 in Bihar, a general seat in Vaishali district that falls under the Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency.[3](https://results.election.ltd/vidhan-sabha/10/126/2025) • [8](https://bharatsurvey.org/assembly/bihar/mahua) Polling took place on 6 November 2025, with 15 contestants and a reported turnout of 70.7% of 294,881 electors.[3](https://results.election.ltd/vidhan-sabha/10/126/2025)
Singh won 87,641 votes, 41.47% of the valid votes, after all 27 rounds of counting.[1](https://www.ndtv.com/elections/bihar-assembly-election-results-2025/mahua) • [9](https://www.business-standard.com/elections/bihar-elections/bihar-assembly-elections-2025-mahua-seat-winner-voting-tej-pratap-yadav-125111400134_1.html) Mukesh Kumar Raushan of the RJD, who had held the seat since 2020, finished second with 42,644 votes (20.18%). Tej Pratap Yadav, contesting on the ticket of his own Jan Shakti Janata Dal after his expulsion from the RJD, took third place with 35,703 votes (16.89%).[3](https://results.election.ltd/vidhan-sabha/10/126/2025) • [10](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/elections/assembly-elections/bihar/constituency-show/mahua) The margin of 44,997 votes was about 21.3% of valid votes, and Singh took 67.3% of the votes shared by the top two candidates.[3](https://results.election.ltd/vidhan-sabha/10/126/2025)
**A split opposition field.** The result came in a contest where the RJD and the Jan Shakti Janata Dal together polled more votes than the winner: Raushan and Yadav combined for 78,347 votes against Singh's 87,641.[1](https://www.ndtv.com/elections/bihar-assembly-election-results-2025/mahua) Tej Pratap Yadav had won Mahua in 2015 as an RJD candidate and had campaigned there on pledges including a cricket stadium, while his brother [Tejashwi Yadav](https://www.edgepedia.org/tejashwi-yadav), the INDIA bloc's chief ministerial face, campaigned against him in the constituency.[10](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/elections/assembly-elections/bihar/constituency-show/mahua) • [11](https://www.indiatoday.in/elections/assembly/bihar/candidate-sanjay-kumar-singh-2776)
## Earlier electoral record
Singh had contested Mahua in the 2020 Bihar Assembly election on the undivided Lok Janshakti Party ticket, finishing third with 25,198 votes (14.65%) behind Raushan (RJD) and Ashma Parveen (JD(U)).[10](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/elections/assembly-elections/bihar/constituency-show/mahua) His 2020 affidavit declared assets of ₹43,281,735 and liabilities of ₹60,50,038, so his declared assets rose from about ₹43 million (₹4.3 crore) to ₹73 million (₹7.3 crore) between the two elections while his liabilities fell to zero.[7](https://www.myneta.info/compare_profile.php?group_id=EnGqRPKuNaDHPTYmJjzx)
## Affidavit disclosures
The 2020 affidavit listed two pending criminal cases with no convictions. One, Mahua police station case 158/19 before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali, invoked IPC sections 171E (bribery), 171F (undue influence or personation at an election), and 188 (disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant).

## Ministerial role
After the election, Singh was sworn in as a minister in the Bihar government; the Association for Democratic Reforms' report on the ministers of the 2025 Bihar Assembly lists him as a minister from Mahua of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas).[2](https://www.adrindia.org/sites/default/files/Ministers_Report_Bihar_Assembly_2025_Eng.pdf) Press coverage of the swearing-in described him as a loyalist of party leader [Chirag Paswan](https://www.edgepedia.org/chirag-paswan).[13](https://epaper.growingindia.co.in/media/2025-11/kota-growing-india-21-november-2025.pdf)
