Bihar election results: Deputy CM Vijay Sinha trails in Lakhisarai
14 Nov 2025

The Lakhisarai Assembly election trends are in, with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha trailing Congress's Amaresh Kumar by a slender margin of 79 votes.

He is also up against Suraj Kumar of Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party (JSP).

The constituency recorded a voter turnout of 63.46%.

This election is particularly noteworthy as it features a Bhumihar vs Bhumihar battle between Sinha and Amresh Kumar.

He took a dig at the opposition, saying "Appu and Pappu" (Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi) aren't taken seriously by Bihar's public.
