The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections have produced several compelling milestones, with decisive victories and unprecedented age-related records shaping the political narrative.
While seasoned leaders registered massive wins, emerging youth voices also made a strong mark.
Among the most notable names this year are 79-year-old JDU veteran Harinarayan Singh and Maithili Thakur, who has become the youngest MLA of the new assembly.
From the Harnaut constituency, senior Janata Dal (United) leader Harinarayan Singh secured a remarkable win. His victory sets a new benchmark in Bihar’s electoral landscape.
At 79, he has become one of the oldest candidates to clinch victory in the state’s recent polls. Analysts are calling this achievement ‘a triumph of experience’.
Singh secured 1,06,954 votes, far surpassing Congress candidate Arun Kumar, who received 48,335 votes. His winning margin of over 58,000 votes places him among the top performers in terms of vote difference this election season.
A familiar face in Bihar politics, Singh contested his 13th election this year. With eight previous victories to his credit, his consistent success underlines the enduring trust he has built among voters who continue to value his work and leadership.
Maithili Thakur Becomes the Face of Bihar’s Youth
At the other end of the spectrum, Alinagar witnessed the rise of a youthful leader as Maithili Thakur emerged as the youngest winner of the 2025 elections.
With a strong following on social media and a clean public image, she has quickly carved out her own space in state politics.
Thakur received 84,915 votes, defeating her nearest rival, RJD’s Vinod Mishra, who garnered 73,185 votes. Observers widely view her victory as a reflection of ‘a new Bihar with a new vision’, signalling the growing influence of young voters and their aspiration for energetic, modern leadership.
Political observers believe her win underscores a shifting political culture in Bihar. This new culture appreciates fresh ideas and resonates with youth sentiment.
The Bihar Election 2025 results send a clear message. Both experience and youthful dynamism hold equal importance in the state’s evolving political fabric.
Stalwarts like Harinarayan Singh continue to command immense public trust. New-generation leaders such as Maithili Thakur are fuelling optimism and inspiring change.
