Electoral History of Narkatiaganj Constituency in Bihar

One of the nine assembly segments located in the Paschim Champaran district of Bihar, Narkatiaganj assembly constituency is currently being represented by Rashmi Verma who retained the seat for the BJP by defeating her nearest Congress rival Fakhruddin Khan by a margin of 15,742 votes in a byepoll held on 21st August in 2014, necessitated due to the election of its sitting BJP MLA Satish Chandra Dubey to the Lok Sabha from the Valmiki Nagar parliamentary constituency. While Rashmi Verma got 64,602 votes, Fakhruddin Khan got 48,860 votes.

Out of the ten assembly seats that went to the polls in the bye-elections which took place after the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won 6 whereas the RJD and the JD(U) was victorious on 3 and 2 seats respectively. The Congress won one seats.

The RJD put up a dismal performance with only 22 seats. However, as things stand today, the BJP and the JD (U) have parted ways and 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 ruling dispensation at the Centre. The RJD, the JD (U) and the Congress have come together to stop the BJP from coming to power in Bihar.
