Madhubani Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 40 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Bihar state in eastern India.

Assembly segments[edit]

Presently, Madhubani Lok Sabha constituency comprises the following six Vidhan Sabha segments after reorganisation in 1976:^[1]

Constituency number	Name	Reserved for (SC/ST/None)	District	MLA	Party	Party Leading (in 2019)
31	Harlakhi	None	Madhubani	Sudanshu Shekhar	JD(U)	BJP
32	Benipatti	None	Madhubani	Vinod Narayan Jha	BJP	BJP
35	Bisfi	None	Madhubani	Haribhushan Thakur	BJP	BJP

86	Keoti	None	Darbhanga	Murari Mohan Jha	BJP	BJP
87	Jale	None	Darbhanga	Jibesh Kumar	BJP	BJP

Before 1976, Madhubani assembly segment formed part of eastern Lok Sabha constituency of the district of same name, but after 1976 the eastern Lok Sabha constituency was renamed as Jhanjharpur because Madhubani assembly segment was taken out of it to be merged into former Jainagar Lok Sabha constituency. Jainagar Lok Sabha constituency included western assembly segments of Madhubani district besides Jale assembly segment from Darbhanga district. After inclusion of Madhubani assembly segment, Jainagar Lok Sabha constituency was renamed as Madhubani and Ladania CD block and adjoining areas were taken out of it to be merged into newly formed Jhanjharpur Lok Sabha constituency in order to compensate for the loss of Madhubani assembly segment. After this reorganisation, communist vote bank in the district was bifurcated and CPI had to face greater difficulties in winning the eastern Lok Sabha constituency of this district which was won by CPI candidate Bhogendra Jha in 1967 and 1971.
