In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rajesh Verma from the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), which contested under the NDA banner, had a lead of over 17,000 votes in the assembly segment.

The counting of postal ballot votes has started.

The JDU's Raj Kumar Ray will now look to wrest back the seat he had won two times in 2010 and 2015. Since 2000, the JDU and the RJD have won it three times each.

The seat was a stronghold of socialist leader Gajendra Prasad Himanshu, who won it seven times overall since 1967. The Congress had won the seat only once in 1985.

The Hasanpur seat, which went to polls in phase 1, saw a turnout of 70.49% in the elections.

The Hasanpur assembly constituency falls under Rosera subdivision of Samastipur district but comes under the Khagaria Lok Sabha seat. The Yadav-dominated constituency also has a significant presence of Muslims and other Backward castes like Kushwahas and Nishads.

The counting for the seats of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 will begin at 8 a.m. at 46 counting centres across 38 districts.

The high-stakes political battle was mainly between the NDA and the grand alliance. New entrant Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj fought for all 243 seats.
