Here is all you need to know about the Barharia constituency:
Demographics, Prominent Parties, Past Wins And More
The Barharia Assembly constituency has witnessed shifting political dynamics over the past decade. The Janata Dal (United) dominated the seat in 2010 and 2015, winning comfortably by 14,583 and 21,121 votes, respectively.
However, the trend reversed in 2020, when the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) edged out JD(U) with a narrow margin of 3,559 votes. The upset was partly attributed to the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), which, after breaking away from the BJP-led NDA, fielded its own candidate, effectively splitting the vote.
In the 2020 election, Barharia had 301,921 registered voters and a 57.15% turnout. The constituency’s demographics showed Muslims forming the largest minority group with 74,574 voters (24.7%), followed by Scheduled Castes at 11.78% (35,566 voters) and Scheduled Tribes at 1.81% (5,465 voters).
