Bihar Election Results: Jailed Janata Dal (United) leader Anant Singh won the Mokama assembly seat in Bihar's Patna district on Friday with a lead of 28,206 votes. Singh, despite being incarcerated, secured 91,416 votes, defeating RJD candidate Veena Devi, the wife of Surajbhan Singh, who garnered 63,210 votes. Priadarshi Piyush of the Jan Suraaj Party came in third with 19,365 votes.
Before the elections, Anant Kumar Singh had been arrested by Patna Police in connection with the murder of Jan Suraaj supporter Dularchand Yadav, according to Patna Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kartikeya Sharma.
The SSP added that Singh was arrested alongside two associates, Manikant Thakur and Ranjeet Ram, and was subsequently brought before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court in Patna.
Mokama is infamous for being a stronghold of influential and often controversial "strongmen" or "bahubalis" in Bihar politics, most notably Anant Kumar Singh, his brother Dilip Singh and Surajbhan Singh.
The electoral battle in Mokama Assembly constituency in Patna district, Bihar, was centred around two Bahubalis - Anant Singh and Surajbhan Singh, who dominate the region's political narrative.
Meanwhile, the NDA is heading towards setting a new milestone in the 2025 Bihar elections, as it has crossed the 195-mark in the latest trends.
