   One of the ten assembly constituencies located in the Darbhanga district n Bihar, Kusheshwarasthan is currently represented by Shashi Bhushan Hajari who had won it for the BJP in the last assembly polls to Bihar in 2010 by defeating his nearest rival Ramchandra Paswan of the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP) by a margin of 5512 votes in a triangular contest.

   In the only assembly election to Kusheshwarasthan in 2010, while Shashi Bhushan Hajari polled 28576 votes, Ramchandra Paswan, brother of LJP supremo Ram Vilas Paswan, received 23064 votes and was followed by Ashok Kumar Ram of the Congress who secured 17142 votes. Ram Chandra Paswan is currently the LJP MP from the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

   In 2010 Pashupati Kumar Paras, another brother of Ram Vilas Paswan, was defeated from the Alauli assembly constituency which he had been winning the seat since 1985. Ram Vilas Paswan, an ally of Lalu Prasad in 2010, is now with the BJP and is an MP from Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency. His son Chirag Paswan was elected to the Lok Sabha in 2014 from the Jamui parliamentary constituency.

   In the assembly elections in 2010, four assembly seats in the Darbhanga district were contested by the JD(U), while the remaining six seats were allotted to the its then ally BJP.

   In 2010 the Janata Dal (United) did not nominate its candidate for the Kusheshwarasthan assembly seat because it was in alliance with the Janata Dal (United) at that time. However, due to the realignment of the forces, while the Lok Janashakti Party (LJP), previously an ally of the RJD, is now a part of the BJP led NDA, the JD(U) and the RJD have come together to check the BJP.
