Mokama Election Result 2025 Highlights: The Mokama constituency is one of the 243 constituencies in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. It forms part of the Munger Lok Sabha constituency and is one of the 14 assembly segments located within Patna district. The Mokama constituency voted in the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections on November 6, alongside 121 other constituencies statewide. Singh won by 28206 votes, defeating RJD's Veena Devi.
It witnessed an intense contest in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, with the Janata Dal (United) fielding strongman Anant Singh, while the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) nominated Veena Devi, wife of former MP and influential leader Surajbhan Singh. The Jan Suraaj Party put forward Priyadarshi Piyush as its candidate.
Both major contenders belong to the Bhumihaar community, making it a direct battle of political legacies in one of Bihar’s most volatile yet strategically important constituencies.
Popularly known as ‘Chhote Sarkar’ among his supporters, Anant Singh has held sway over Mokama’s politics since 2005, maintaining dominance despite changing party affiliations—from JD(U) to Independent to RJD. His political journey was interrupted in 2022, when he was convicted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and disqualified from the Assembly.
After his conviction, the RJD fielded his wife, Neelam Devi, in the by-election, and she managed to retain the seat.
Anant Kumar Singh was arrested in the early hours on November 2 by Patna Police in connection with the alleged murder of Dularchand Yadav who was killed on October 30 after a clash between supporters of the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) and the Janata Dal (United).
