In that election, Sujata Devi polled 44883 votes, Dinbandhu Yadav received 30197 votes and was followed by Dileshwar Kamait who entered as an Independent and secured 19298 votes. Dileshwar Kamait was the JD (U) candidate from Supaul Lok Sabha seat in 2014 parliamentary polls. Earlier he had won the Tribeniganj assembly seat in 2009 in a byepoll on the ticket of the Janata Dal (United).Sujata Devi is the wife of former JD (U) MP from Supaul Lok Sabha seat Vishwamohan Kumar.

In the first assembly election to Pipra seat in 2010, Surya N. Yadav, who contested on the ticket of the Congress, was relegated to the fourth place with 7647 votes.
