Mokama Election Phase 1 Live Updates: Voting for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 is underway. Mokama recorded a voter's turnout of 26 per cent till 11 am.
While the JDU has pitted former MLA and 'Bahubali' Anant Singh, the RJD has given a ticket to Veena Devi, the wife of Singh's archrival Suraj Bhan Singh.
Both Veena Devi and Anant Singh come from the Bhumihaar community, setting the stage for a direct clash of political legacies in one of Bihar's most volatile yet politically significant constituencies.
Often addressed as 'Chhote Sarkar', Singh has dominated Mokama's politics since 2005, regardless of his political affiliations.
Despite shifting from JDU to Independent to RJD, he maintained a firm grip on the seat until his 2022 conviction under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, which led to his disqualification from the Assembly.
