Mahua Election Result 2025 Live: LJP(RV)'s Sanjay Kumar Singh wins; Tej Pratap Yadav suffers shock defeat

NEW DELHI: In a dramatic turn of events, Tej Pratap Yadav lost from the Mahua assembly constituency, where he came third—even as LJP (Ram Vilas) candidate Sanjay Kumar Singh clinched the seat with 87,641 votes.

RJD’s Mukesh Kumar Raushan followed at 42,644 votes, while Tej Pratap Yadav secured only 35,703 votes and AIMIM’s Amit Kumar stood at 15,783. The numbers mark a stark setback for Tej Pratap, whose new party, Janshakti Janta Dal, is struggling to gain ground in a contest overwhelmingly shaped by stronger political players.

Tej Pratap, expelled earlier this year from the RJD and now contesting on his own banner, is attempting to reclaim Mahua. Raushan, the incumbent, is fighting to retain the seat amid threats of a split in the Yadav vote.


In the 2020 assembly election, Mukesh Kumar Raushan of the RJD won with 62,747 votes (36.48 per cent), defeating JDU’s Ashma Parveen, who polled 48,977 votes (28.47 per cent). LJP’s Sanjay Kumar Singh secured 25,198 votes (14.65 per cent).

In 2015, Tej Pratap had won the Mahua seat, securing approximately 66,927 votes (43.34 per cent) and defeating his nearest rival by a margin of 28,155 votes.

This year’s contest will test whether Tej Pratap’s return can disrupt the existing equation in Mahua, where the combination of caste, development issues and intra-party rivalries all surface. Counting of votes commences at 8:00am.
