Here is all you need to know about the Babubarhi constituency:

The Babubarhi Assembly Constituency is a General (Unreserved) seat situated in the Mithilanchal region, specifically in the Madhubani district. It is a completely rural constituency, with its dynamics heavily influenced by traditional caste mobilisation and the performance of the two major alliances.

The seat has a volatile history, with no single party maintaining continuous dominance for long. The current trend shows a slight upper hand for the Janata Dal (United)—JD(U) (part of the NDA) against the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) (part of the Mahagathbandhan).

Mina Kumari from JDU is the sitting MLA from the Babubarhi seat. She will be up against Arun Kumar Singh of the RJD.

A voter turnout of 65.08% was achieved in phase one and 68.76% in phase two with a total of 66.91% registered in Bihar's legislative assembly elections.

It was one of the most high-stakes political contests in the country between NDA and the Mahagathbandhan. NDA includes the BJP, JD(U), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha.

Mahagathbandhan includes RJD, Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).
