In the first phase of the two-phased Bihar assembly elections 2025, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Anand Mishra has emerged as the early leader in the Buxar constituency. With 14,122 votes (+9,318), Mishra is leaving behind INC's Sanjay Kumar Tiwari and BSP's Abhimnyu Maury. Mishra, a 44-year-old former IPS officer, has been active in politics since his entry into public life. He previously served as the president of the Youth Wing in Jan Suraaj Party, a position he held before joining the BJP. The development marks a significant shift in the contest for the Buxar seat. The Jan Suraaj Party has fielded Tathagat Harsh Vardhan, the son of former Union minister KK Tiwary, who was elected from the Buxar Lok Sabha constituency in 1980 and 1984. Vardhan's candidature brings a legacy element to the contest, setting up a high-profile electoral battle in the region. The Buxar constituency has seen a close contest between national and regional parties in the past. In the 2020 assembly elections, Congress candidate Sanjay Kumar Tiwari won the seat by a narrow margin of 3,892 votes. The upcoming polls are expected to be just as competitive, with all parties eyeing the politically significant constituency.
