It includes five Legislative Assembly segments of Chhanbey (reserved for Scheduled Caste), Mirzapur, Majhawan, Chunar, and Marihan, all currently held by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance.

Mirzapur has been significant in the political careers of prominent figures such as Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Member of Parliament (MP) from the Rajya Sabha, Arun Singh. Phoolan Devi made history in 1996 as the first woman MP from Mirzapur.
