Results in the last four elections: In 2000, INLD candidate Hamid Hussain polled 31,454 votes, defeating Congress' Khurshid Ahmed. Habib-Ur-Rehman won as an Independent in 2005 Assembly polls and gained over Aftab Ahmed of the Congress by a margin of over 4,000 votes. However, the grand old party made a comeback in the next election by again fielding Aftab, who received 33,925 votes. In 2014, it was a miss for the party as INLD's Zakir Hussain surged with a good margin of 32,796 votes.
Under Hussain's leadership, Nuh saw fundamental development with the launch of Mewat Feeder canal at the cost of Rs 650 crore. His government also brought drinking water to 17 villages apart from spending 80 crore in overall development. But recently, Hussain has jumped ship to the BJP and has been pitted by the saffron party for this year's election.
Nasir Hussain from INLD, Arjan from Bahujan Samaj Party, Aftab Ahmed from Congress and Zakir Hussain from the BJP are trying their luck in the constituency in 2019 among others.
