While Vinay Bihari, who has directed a Bhojpuri film 'Pyar Mohabbat Zindabad featuring several Bihar MLAs cutting across party lines, polled 38381 votes, Pradeep Singh secured 27500 votes and was followed by Shambhu Tiwari of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) with 22140 votes.

He was elected from the seat 2000 when he had defeated the sitting legislator Ran Vijaya Shahi by a margin of 15496 votes. Ran Vijaya Shahi, who was the winner of the seat as a candidate of the Janata Dal in 1990 and 1995, entered the fray in 2000 as a nominee of the RJD.

Earlier Pradeep Singh was elected twice from Lauriya assembly seat in 2005.

In the previous assembly election to the seat held in February that year Pradeep Singh had defeated the same opponent by razor-thin margin of 54 votes.
