The Congress has so far released two list of candidates for the Jharkhand Assembly elections, which are scheduled to take place in two phases on November 13 and 20.
The votes for the 81-seat Jharkhand Assembly polls will be counted on November 23, coinciding with that of the Maharashtra elections.
The current Assembly's term in Jharkhand ends on January 5, 2025.
In the 2019 Assembly polls, the Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) won 30 seats and formed government with the help of Congress, which had bagged 16 seats and also the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which bagged one seat. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata won 25 seats, falling short of majority in the state.
On December 24, 2019, Hemant Soren was officially elected as the leader of the JMM legislature group and had already been the UPA's chief ministerial candidate during the campaign. With the additional support of former CM and JVM(P) chief Babulal Marandi, the alliance and Soren's government were further strengthened. This resulted in Hemant Soren forming the new government in Jharkhand.
