**Sahibganj, Jharkhand:** The Barhait and Rajmahal assembly constituencies in Sahibganj district are witnessing intense electoral battles, with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) facing strong challenges. Barhait, a traditionally JMM stronghold and a significant political hub due to its status as a block headquarters, is seeing a direct contest between Hemant Soren and Gamaliel Hembrom. In Rajmahal, the BJP’s Anant Ojha is facing a potentially close contest, with results expected to be close.

The Borio constituency is also experiencing a tight race between the BJP and JMM, with Dhanjay Soren currently leading by a narrow margin.

The veracity of these claims is yet to be confirmed. The outcome of these elections in Sahibganj district will have significant implications for the overall state-level results.
