Prashant Kishor will make his electoral debut in the Bankipur bypoll for his Jan Suraaj party after failing to win a seat in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
The Bankipur seat fell vacant after former MLA Nitin Nabin was elevated to BJP National President and resigned from the assembly.
The BJP has fielded Neeraj Kumar Sinha for the bypoll, while Jan Suraaj aims to challenge the BJP stronghold which has held the seat since the 1990s.
In the 2025 election, BJP's Nitin Nabin won by a margin of over 51,000 votes, while Jan Suraaj managed only about 7,000 votes.
The bypoll is seen as critical for Jan Suraaj's political survival; analysts note a slight opening due to BJP fielding a new candidate.
