Ruling Janata Dal (United) retained the Daraunda Assembly seat by defeating its nearest rival RJD-LJP combine candidate by a comfortable margin.
Daraunda seat fell vacant after the death of sitting JD(U) MLA Jagmato Devi in June. The party had fielded her newly-wed daughter-in-law Kavita Singh to contest the bypoll. The RJD-LJP combine had put up Parmeshar Singh as their candidate with Congress candidate Kalika Sharan Singh and Jainath Yadav of CPI(ML) too in the fray of this Rajput-Yadav dominated constituency in Siwan district of the State. JD(U) candidate Kavita Singh defeated her nearest RJD candidate Parmeshwar Singh by 20,092 votes.
