The Bhumihar dominated assembly constituency of Mokama in Bihar is currently held by Neelam Devi of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). She had won the seat in 2022 in a bye-election which was necessitated due to the disqualification of her predecessor Anant Kumar Singh as an MLA.

In that election while Neelam Devi had polled 79,744 votes, 63,003 votes were received by her nearest rival Sonam Devi of BJP.

Since 1980, Mokama assembly constituency has been won by strongmen. Anant Kumar Singh had been winning the seat since 2005. He had won the the seat on both the elections in 2005.

Dilip Kumar Singh, brother of Anant Kumar Singh, had emerged victorious from the Mokama assembly constituency in 1990 and 1995 on the ticket of the Janata Dal.

In the next assembly elections held in 2000, he was defeated by independent candidate Suraj Singh alias Suraj Bhan Singh who won the seat by a huge margin of 59471 votes. Dilip Kumar Singh was a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) nominee in that election.

Suraj Bhan Singh is now disqualified to contest polls due to his conviction in a murder case.

In the past another strongman Shyam Sunder Singh had claimed the Mokama assembly seat for the Congress in 1980 and 1985. He later joined the Lalu led RJD.

Mokama assembly constituency has also sent prominent Bihar Congress leader and former Union minister Krishna Shahi to the Bihar legislative assembly in 1972 and 1977. She served as a minister in the Narsimha Roa led Congress government at the centre.
