Harinandan Yadav, who had unsuccessfully contested the Bahadurpur assembly seat in 2010 on the ticket of the Lalu led Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), was elected from the Hayaghat assembly constituency in both the elections in 2005.

Earlier Hayaghat assembly seat had sent independent candidate Umadhar Prasad Singh to the Bihar legislative assembly in 1985 and 2000.
