The Belaganj seat was son by Manorama Devi in 2024, during the by-election. The bypoll was necessitated as the sitting seven-time RJD MLA Surendra Prasad Yadav was elected to the Lok Sabha, in the general elections held in the same year.
Under Yadav, Belaganj was seen as an RJD bastion. He had won the seat in the 1990 and 1995 assembly elections, but lost in the 1998 polls. However, he wrested the seat back in the 2000 elections, and successfully retained it in 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020 polls.
In 2020, Yadav had defeated the JD(U)'s Abhay Kumar Sinha by a margin of 23,963 votes. At the time, the constituency had 1.7 lakh voters, including 90,967 male and 77,514 female voters.
