The Raghopur assembly seat in Bihar’s Vaishali district is shaping up to be a battleground for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, who has held the seat since 2015, faces a tough challenge from BJP’s Satish Kumar Yadav, who previously lost to Tejashwi in the 2020 Assembly elections.

The incumbent MLA and leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, has been a dominant force in Raghopur. He won the seat in 2015 and 2020, defeating Satish Kumar Yadav on both occasions.

A member of the Yadhuvanshi community, Satish Kumar Yadav previously represented the Janata Dal (United) and won the Raghopur seat in 2010, defeating Rabri Devi. He later switched to the BJP and lost to Tejashwi Yadav in 2015 and 2020.
