In Patna Sahib, Ravi Shankar Prasad seeks second term. in Pataliputra, Misa Bharti seeks third term. Nalanda sees Kaushlendra Kumar aiming for fourth term. JD(U)'s Chandeshwar Prasad Chandravanshi faces off against Surendra Prasad Yadav in Jehanabad.

As things stand today, Mahagtahbandhan, comprising RJD, Congress and the Left, occupy all the six seats, including Buxar, Brahampur, Rajpur and Dumraon. While three seats - Brahampur, Ramgarh and Dinara- are with RJD, Congress holds two seats - Buxar and Rajpur (SC). Dumraon seat is with CPI (ML).

Despite three close defeats, Bharti is contesting again, facing criticism for being absent between elections.
