Jan Suraaj Party named its founder, Prashant Kishor, as its candidate for the July 30 Bankipur Assembly bypoll in Bihar, marking the political strategist's electoral debut. The bypoll was necessitated after BJP chief Nitin Nabin resigned as MLA following his election to Rajya Sabha. Notably, Jan Suraaj contested 238 seats in 2025 Bihar polls but couldn't win any seat.
