1. Votes were completely divided between LJP-RJD, Tej Pratap got stuck in the third camp.
The traditional fight in Mahua has been RJD versus LJP. This time Tej Pratap was in the fray from a new party, due to which his hold got weakened and the votes got divided into three parts.
Even his personal popularity was not enough to save the seat this time.
2. Indirect impact of JD(U)–BJP alliance
There was NDA wave in the entire Tirhut-Vaishali belt. Due to this, the LJP-R candidate got a clear lead.
3. New election symbol, new party – local network weak
Many of the booth level workers on whom Tej Pratap depended during RJD days were not seen with him this time.
This affected the ground supply of votes.
4. Tej Pratap’s political hold reduced in 2025 elections
Tej Pratap Yadav was in the headlines for his statements and social media presence for a long time, but
This time the strength of strong organization, grassroots cadre and alliance prevailed on the seat.
