In the 2020 Assembly elections in Bihar, Jitan Ram Manjhi of the HAMS won against Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) Uday Narain Choudhary with a margin of 9.23 per cent votes. The seat had then witnessed 58.69 per cent polling.

Majhi resigned as an MLA from the seat in 2024 following his election to the Lok Sabha, and his daughter-in-law Deepa Kumari retained the seat.
