In 2019, the main battle is between JD(U)’s Kavita Singh and RJD’s Hina Shahab.
Siwan Lok Sabha Election Results:
Kavita Singh of JD(U) won the seat with a margin of 1.1 lakh votes, ahead of rival Hena Shahab of RJD.
Siwan is one of the Lok Sabha Constituencies that went to vote in Lok Sabha Election 2019.
Constituency Profile
Siwan is one of the constituencies from Bihar going to polls on 12 May 2019.
It consists of the following assembly segments - Siwan, Ziradei, Darauli, Raghunathpur, Daraunda and Barharia.
In 2019, the main battle is between JD(U)’s Kavita Singh and RJD’s Hina Shahab.
Hina Shahab and Kavita Singh are charting their way through the very masculine Bihar political-scape of Election 2019 but the big question is did their parties choose them as dummy candidates for their muscle-flexing husbands? Shahab, the Rashtriya Janata Dal's contestant in Siwan, is the wife of four-term (1996 to 2004) MP Shahabuddin, convicted in multiple murder cases and debarred from contesting any election.
Her opponent in Siwan, which votes on May 12, is Kavita Singh, a two-time MLA who is the Janata Dal(United) candidate and the wife of local muscleman Ajay Singh. He has been denied a ticket because of the many criminal cases against him.
Past Results
IN 2014, BJP’s Om Prakash Yadav won by 1.3 lakh votes, beating Hena Shahab of RJD.
In 2009, Om Prakash Yadav – then an Independent – emerged victorious against Hena Shahab of RJD.

The Battle for Bihar
In Bihar, the seats going to vote in Phase VI are - Gopalganj, Maharajganj, Paschim Champaran, Purvi Champaran, Sheohar, Siwan, Vaishal and Valmiki Nagar.
The contest in Bihar is mostly two-way with NDA pitted against Mahagathbandhan. While Janata Dal (United) is part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) which comprises of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), the Bihar Mahagathbandhan comprises Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP), Hindustan Awam Morcha (HAM) and Vikasshil Insan Party (VIP).
The BJP will contest from Paschim Champaran (Bettiah), Purvi Champaran (Motihari), Muzaffarpur, Saran, Maharjaganj, Sheohar, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Ujiarpur, Begusarai, Patna Sahib, Patliputra, Ara, Buxar, Sasaram, Aurangabad and Araria.
The JD(U) will field candidates from Valmikinagar, Siwan, Gopalganj, Jehanbad, Gaya, Karakat, Madhepura, Supaul, Jhanjharpur, Sitamarhi, Purnea, Kishanganj, Banka, Bhagalpur, Munger, Nalanda and Katihar.
The Congress got nine constituencies as per the seat-sharing arrangements, while the RJD has 20 out of which it has forgone Ara in favour of the CPI(ML), which has returned the favour by announcing that the ultra-Left outfit would not field its candidate from Pataliputra, which would be contested by Lalu Prasad's eldest daughter Misa Bharti.
Besides, Upendra Kushwaha's RLSP is contesting five seats and Jitan Ram Manjhis HAM is fighting three. The VIP, founded and headed by Bollywood set designer-turned-politician Mukesh Sahni, has got three seats out of the 40 in Bihar.
The Lok Sabha election in the state will be held in seven phases with the first one on April 11 and the last on May 19.
The poll process will start on March 18 with the issuance of notification for filing of nomination papers for the first phase.
The counting of votes will take place along with the rest of the country on May 23, the Election Commission had said.
A total of 7.06 crore voters will exercise their franchise in 72,723 polling stations in the state.
