The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led Mahagathbandhan has successfully crossed the halfway mark in the 2024 Jharkhand Assembly elections, securing 50 seats. As of the latest count, the JMM is leading in 30 constituencies, with its alliance partners, Congress (13 seats), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) (5 seats), and Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) (2 seats), contributing significantly to the overall tally. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA is trailing with 26 seats.
The counting process for the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly is ongoing, with the final results expected to solidify the political landscape for the state. Jharkhand went to the polls in two phases: November 13 and November 20. The total voter turnout for these elections reached a record-breaking 67.74%, the highest since the state’s formation in 2000. This impressive turnout underscores the growing political awareness and engagement among voters in the state.
Political heavyweights campaigned for their parties, with predictions split between NDA and JMM-Congress, as Jharkhand’s governance shifts.
Quote: “Jharkhand’s voters have shown their faith in the JMM-led alliance’s vision for a prosperous and inclusive state,” said Hemant Soren, the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, expressing confidence in his alliance’s victory as trends showed JMM’s strong performance.
