Bihar Elections: Winning women candidates in 2020 and 2025
A comparison of the 2020 and 2025 elections shows a clear rise in women's representation.
In 2020, a total of 25 women were elected to the Assembly. In 2025, this number increased to 29. The rise may not appear significant, but it signals expanding opportunities for women in politics. It also shows that political parties are now focusing on bringing women into positions of real power rather than treating them as symbolic figures. The 2025 election was notable because several young, educated and socially active women candidates achieved significant victories. Although women’s representation is still below 10 per cent, it is clear that their influence on the political field continues to grow.
