Ahead of the 2025 Bihar elections, Mukesh Sahani decided not to contest personally after the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan offered his VIP only 15 seats, fewer than the 24 he demanded. Instead, he continued campaigning for the Grand Alliance and nominated his brother Santosh Kumar Sahani to contest from the Gaura-Bauram seat in Darbhanga district. Sahani expressed ambitions for the Deputy Chief Minister position if the alliance wins.
