In the previous elections, BJP's Savitri Bai Foole defeated Shabbir Ahmad from SP. The margin was 95,645 votes.

The voter turnout recorded was 57%.

In what qualifies as a great political thriller, AKSHAIBAR LAL of Bharatiya Janata Party defeated Samajwadi Party's SHABBIR BALMIKI by a margin of 128,752. After a close shave, AKSHAIBAR LAL will now govern Bahraich for the next five years.

Shiv Sena fieled Rinku Sahani while the Samajwadi Party placed its bet on Shabbir Balmiki, and the Bharatiya Janata Party chose Akshaibar Lal as their candidate.
