Currently Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is the ruling part in the state and Hemant Soren is the Chief Minister. In the 2024 Jharkhand Assembly elections, the ruling JMM, led by Hemant Soren, a member of the INDIA bloc, will be taking on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which includes the BJP, All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), and Janata Dal (United), in the state.

In the 2019 elections, JMM had won 30 seats and went on to form the government with the Congress, which had won 16 seats.

Soren has said the JMM-led alliance will contest all 81 seats in the upcoming assembly elections. He expressed confidence in the party’s electoral preparedness and asserted that the alliance would regain power in the state.
