Prashant Kishor Leads in Bankipur Assembly Bypoll

Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor is currently leading in the Bankipur Assembly byelection in Patna, according to updates from August 3, 2026.

Kishor, a former election strategist, entered the electoral fray one month ago to challenge the BJP's candidate, Nitin Nabin, for the assembly seat.

The outcome of this bypoll is viewed as a referendum on the BJP's governance, policies, and public image in Bihar, as stated by Kishor during his campaign.
