Of the remaining four constituencies where bypolls will be conducted, the Mahagathbandhan had won three — Ramgarh (RJD), Belaganj (RJD), and Tarari (CPI-ML) — in the 2020 Assembly elections.

RJD’s Ramgarh MLA Sudhakar Singh has won the Lok Sabha election from Buxar, RJD MLA from Belaganj Surendra Yadav won in Jahanabad, and CPI-ML’s Tarari MLA Sudama Prasad has won from Arrah Lok Sabha seat.
Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular (HAM-S) chief and Imamganj MLA Jitan Ram Manjhi has won the Gaya Lok Sabha seat.
It is likely the RJD will field Sudhkar Singh’s younger brother Ajit Singh from Ramgarh. Ajit Singh was formerly in the JD(U). In the Yadav-dominated Belaganj assembly seat, Surendra Yadav’s son Vishwanath Yadav is preparing to contest by poll on the RJD ticket.
Mahagathbandhan sources have hinted that like in 2020, the Tarari assembly seat will be again contested by a CPI-ML candidate.
For Imamganj, it is being said that Jitan Ram Manjhi’s younger son Praveen Manjhi is staking claim.
RJD spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwari has said that the Mahagathbandhan will win all five assembly seats in the bypolls.
“RJD is always ready for elections. Four members of the Bihar Legislative Assembly have won the Lok Sabha elections this time, out of which three are from the INDIA bloc,” he said.
BJP spokesperson Arvind Kumar Singh has said that no one can claim a stronghold on any seat. “In a democracy, the people have the power and they are with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar because of their development works. The NDA will win all five seats of the bypolls and there is no doubt about it,” he added.

Paying homage to the martyrs, who laid down their lives during the agitation for the abrogation of Article 370, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh said on Sunday that the sacrifice of Hiranagar martyrs had heralded the relentless movement for J&K's total integration with the Indian Union.
Sachdeva further said that his party would soon request the Election Commission to legally verify the sources of funds for candidates claiming to raise money through crowdfunding and present these details before the public prior to voting.
