Shahid Ali Khan of the Janata Dal (United) is the incumbent MLA from the Sursand assembly seat which he won in the last assembly elections in Bihar in 2010 by trouncing his nearest rival and the sitting Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA Jainandan Prasad Yadav by a narrow margin of 1186 votes.

Earlier Jainandan Prasad Yadav had won the Sursand assembly seat by defeating Baidyanath Prasad of the BJP in both the assembly elections held in 2005.

In 2000, Jainandan Yadav, who had contested the seat as a nominee of JD (U), was elected from here by virtue of his victory over his nearest RJD rival and sitting MLA Nagendra Prasad Yadav by a margin of 17388 votes.
