The political spotlight is firmly fixed on Bihar’s Raghunathpur constituency as counting of votes for the 2025 Assembly Elections began today at 8 a.m. under tight security at the designated centre in Siwan. The outcome will determine the fate of key contenders, including RJD’s Osama Shahab, son of the late Siwan strongman Mohammad Shahabuddin. The constituency, known for its decisive electoral swings, recorded a voter turnout of 61.45%, a notable rise from 53.52% in 2020, reflecting heightened political engagement.
Raghunathpur, part of the Siwan Lok Sabha constituency, witnessed a fierce triangular contest this year between Osama Shahab of the RJD, Vikash Kumar Singh of JD(U), and Rahul Kirti of the Jan Suraaj Party. Osama Shahab has drawn support both from his family legacy and a surge of youth voters, making the seat one of the most closely watched in western Bihar.
In Round 6 of counting, RJD’s Osama Shahab extended his lead over JD(U)’s Vikash Kumar Singh by 5,139 votes. The high-stakes contest continued as more rounds were counted. In Round 8, Osama Shahab further strengthened his position, extending the lead to 12,120 votes, indicating a strong advantage and keeping the constituency in sharp focus as counting progresses in this high-stakes Bihar seat.
The constituency has a mixed electorate, with sizeable Muslim and Yadav populations alongside strong upper-caste and backward-class representation, creating a complex political battlefield. Historically, Raghunathpur was a BJP bastion before RJD turned the tide in 2015 and retained it in 2020 through Harishankar Yadav’s successive victories.
This year’s result carries symbolic weight—an Osama Shahab victory would continue his father’s political legacy, while a loss could signal shifting loyalties in the region. As counting gets underway, Raghunathpur remains a key bellwether of Bihar’s evolving political landscape.
