Mahato won Assembly elections from Madhubani constituency in 2000 and in the year 2005 and 2010 as well. Reportedly, in 2005, elections were held twice due to lack of majority to any party or coalition, required to form government. He won both the elections held that year. In 2015, Mahato was defeated by [[Rashtriya Janata Dal]] candidate Samir Kumar Mahaseth, who later became a minister in Government of Bihar. In this election, the RJD candidate secured 76,823 votes, while Mahato was able to secure 69,519 votes and finished in second position.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aajtak.in/elections/bihar-assembly-elections/story/bihar-madhubani-assembly-seat-election-2020-1135744-2020-09-25|title=मधुबनी विधानसभा सीटः क्या आरजेडी की दोबारा होगी सत्ता में वापसी?|website=aajtak|accessdate=20 August 2023|archive-date=2020-10-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027192647/https://www.aajtak.in/elections/bihar-assembly-elections/story/bihar-madhubani-assembly-seat-election-2020-1135744-2020-09-25|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, he left BJP and contested as independent candidate from Madhubani constituency, losing to Samir Kumar Mahaseth again.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hindi.news18.com/assembly-election-2020/bihar-chunav/ramdeo-mahto-s04a036c10-independent-profile/|website=News18|title=Ramdev Mahato candidate profile|accessdate=20 August 2023|archive-date=20 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230820181647/https://hindi.news18.com/assembly-election-2020/bihar-chunav/ramdeo-mahto-s04a036c10-independent-profile/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2020, Mahato had accused BJP leaders of Bihar of not giving due importance to the ground level political workers and preferring candidates with money power over others in distribution of ticket to contest the elections.
