Electoral History of Barauli Constituency in Bihar

Former BJP minister in Bihar government Ram Pravesh Rai had all the four assembly elections to the Barauli assembly seat since 2000. In all these elections his nearest rival was M Nematullah of the Rashtirya Janata Dal (RJD).

In the last election to the seat held in 2010, he had emerged victorious by a margin of 10414 votes. While he polled 45234 votes, M Nematullah received 34820 votes and was followed by Jitendra Prasad of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) who got 10591 votes. Asif Ghafoor of the Congress was relegated to the fifth place with 4768 votes. His grandfather, Abdul Ghafoor, was the former Chief Minister of Bihar and had represented the Barauli assembly seat four times.

In 2010, the Janata Dal (United) did not field its candidate in the Barauli assembly seat because under the seat sharing arrangement between the BJP and the Janata Dal (United) Barauli was contested by the former. However, as things stand today, the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP), the ally of the RJD in the last assembly elections, is now a part of the BJP led NDA. The JD (U), the RJD and the Congress have joined forces to fight the BJP.

Earlier M Nematullah was elected from the Barauli assembly constituency in 1995 by defeating Ram Pravesh Rai. In that election, Nematullah entered the fray on the ticket of Janata Dal which later disintegrated into several splinter groups.

One of the six assembly segments located in the district of Gopalganj, Barauli had elected Braj Kishor Narayan Singh in 1972, Braj Kishor Narayan Singh had won the Baikunthpur assembly seat four times in a row from 1977.
