Jharkhand election results live: A look at Jharkhand’s volatile political history

Despite abundant mineral wealth, Jharkhand has faced considerable political turbulence since its separation from Bihar in 2000. Among its seven chief ministers, Raghubar Das stands out as the only one to complete an uninterrupted five-year term. The state has also been under President's Rule three times.

In the assembly elections so far, no party has won a clear majority on its own. The political scene has been largely dominated by two parties - the BJP and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). The 2019 elections saw a significant shift when Hemant Soren led the JMM to power with support from Congress and other smaller allies.

However, Hemant Soren's recent term was cut short when he was arrested in an alleged land scam case. Champai Soren, a senior JMM leader, took over as chief minister and served for about 153 days. When Hemant Soren returned to the chief minister's position after his release, Champai Soren, claiming he had been humiliated by the JMM, switched allegiance to the BJP.
