Jharkhand Election Result 2024 Winner: Constituency Wise Full List Of Winners And Candidates

Two hours into voting, initial trends suggested the NDA was on track for a victory in Jharkhand. However, the situation has shifted, with the I.N.D.I.A alliance now leading with 51 seats.

The Jharkhand Assembly elections concluded on Wednesday, with voting held in two phases-November 13 and November 20-deciding the fate of the candidates. The first phase covered 43 constituencies, while the second phase focused on 38 seats.

Chief Minister Hemant Soren, who leads the state, witnessed a fierce battle between two major alliances for power. His party, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), part of the I.N.D.I.A alliance, is working to retain control, while the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which includes the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), Janata Dal (United), and BJP, is determined to unseat them.

Key Candidates

Prominent figures include Chief Minister Hemant Soren, his wife Kalpana Soren, and his sister-in-law Sita Soren, all from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). BJP candidates in the race include former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi, Assembly Speaker Ravindra Nath Mahto (JMM), AJSU Party chief Sudesh Mahto, and Leader of Opposition Amar Kumar Bauri.

Exit Poll Predictions

Most exit polls, including those from Matrize and People's Pulse, have predicted a win for the BJP-led NDA. In contrast, Axis My India forecasted a significant victory for the JMM-Congress alliance, projecting 53 seats for the I.N.D.I.A bloc, 25 for the NDA, and 3 for others.

Former Chief Minister Champai Soren responded to the exit polls, stating they were "doing their job." He added, "We have visited every Assembly constituency... corruption is rampant, unemployment is high, and students are disappointed. A change is certain," he was quoted as saying by ANI.
