CM Hemant Soren-led party emerged as the single largest in Jharkhand that secured 34 assembly seats. JMM chief is set for term 2 as the party steered the INDIA bloc to victory.

Four key ministers in the JMM-led Hemant Soren government faced crushing defeat in Jharkhand assembly polls despite a stellar performance by the coalition which retained power for the second consecutive term.

JMM-led coalition is leading in Jharkhand and has crossed majority mark. These polls show that CM's 5-months jail term in a money-laundering case linked to an alleged land scam failed to malign his image.

In Gandey, Hemant Soren’s wife, Kalpana Soren, was leading with over 13,000 votes. While Kalpana Soren secured 1,11,618 of the total votes counted, the BJP’s Muniya Devi was trailing behind with 98,562 votes.

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha's Hemant Soren won the Barhait seat with total votes 95612. Soren won with a voting margin of 39791 votes against Bharatiya Janata Party's Gamliyel Hembrom. Barhait Assembly seat is one of the 3 assembly seats in the Sahebganj district of Jharkhand.

I.N.D.I.A leads with 51 seats, overtaking NDA. Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s JMM aims to retain power amid predictions favoring both alliances. Key candidates include Hemant Soren and Babulal Marandi.

The INDIA bloc, led by the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, won 56 out of the 81 Assembly seats as per the elections results announced by the Election Commission on Saturday.
