What to Watch During the 2025 Contest?
1. Margin Trends: In 2020, the margin of victory was ≈ 10,252 votes. In earlier elections (e.g. 2015), the winner had a larger margin.
2. Vote Share Shifts Among Parties: Whether BJP holds up its vote share or loses ground; how RJD or Congress perform; whether any new or third party candidate cuts into the base of established parties.
3. The local issues have a significant influence on the voter perceptions besides the state and national narratives, which mainly revolve around development, infrastructure, and services.
4. Caste and Community Dynamics: The importance of caste in rural Bihar is such that the preferred social group will be a major influencer in the elections there.
5. Voter Turnout and First-Time Voters: The turnout numbers have been on the rise from 2010 to 2020. Moreover, the youngest voters (first time) might bring new expectations.
