electoral history
The political history of this seat, established in the year 1951, shows that the people here have always voted on the basis of changing equations. Once upon a time, Congress and Left parties used to have a strong base here. But in recent decades, the contest on this seat has centered between RJD and JDU. The victory of an independent candidate from this seat in the year 1969 shows the unpredictable mood of the voters here.
Let us tell you that Dhoraiya assembly seat is reserved for Scheduled Caste. Therefore, apart from Dalit votes, only the mobilization of Muslims, Yadavs and other communities decides the equation of victory. CPI, Congress and JDU have won from here 5 times each. In the 2020 elections, RJD had captured this seat for the first time.
