Chhoti Kumari, a Zila Panchayat chairperson, entered electoral politics with strong grassroots support. She built her campaign around local development and her consistent work in rural areas. Her 5,000-vote lead highlights the impact of her focused outreach, especially among women and first-time voters.

Khesari Lal Yadav, a prominent Bhojpuri actor and singer, created a wave of excitement when he joined the RJD in October. His fan base brought unmatched energy to roadshows and rallies. Despite this enthusiasm, he still struggles to close the margin. His wife Chanda also joined the RJD, strengthening the couple’s presence in the party’s campaign narrative.

Across the state, the NDA continues to move ahead. The alliance leads on 204 seats, while the Mahagathbandhan (MGB) trails with only 32. Chapra mirrors this statewide trend, as voters appear to favour the NDA’s message of stability and welfare schemes.

Both candidates represent a new era in Chapra politics. Their fresh profiles, contrasting styles, and strong support bases have transformed the seat into one of the most watched battles in Bihar. The final outcome will determine more than just a winner—it will signal where Chapra’s voters place their trust among two very different political paths.
