Manihari Assembly Election 2025: After winning three times in a row, will Congress’s Manohar Prasad Singh continue his winning streak this time too or will the opposition pull off a major upset? The battle of Manihari is going to be very interesting.

Manihari Legislative Assembly Election 2025: Manihari assembly seat has always been considered special in the politics of Bihar. This seat is reserved for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Congress has dominated here for the last three elections. The special thing is that Congress leader Manohar Prasad Singh has won this seat three times in a row. This is the reason why Congress has now started considering this seat as a “lucky seat” for itself.

2010 elections: JDU starts winning

  • In the 2010 elections, Manohar Prasad Singh had won this seat for the first time on JDU ticket.
  • Manohar Prasad Singh (JDU): 44,938 votes (36%)
