**Ranchi/Patna, [Date]:** The 2024 Jharkhand Assembly elections have concluded, revealing a significant number of victories for candidates who switched parties. Of the 27 such candidates, eight secured wins. Hemant Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s political landscape, successfully retained his seat in Barhait, showcasing the continued strength of his party.
In contrast, the Bihar by-elections resulted in a clean sweep for the NDA, leaving the Mahagathbandhan coalition empty-handed.
The Jamua Assembly constituency witnessed a particularly intriguing contest. Kedar Hazra, a three-term BJP MLA, contested the election under the JMM banner this year, facing off against BJP candidate Manju Kumari. The outcome of this contest will be closely watched to see if switching parties affected his electoral prospects. The seat, an SC constituency in Giridih district, promises a closely fought battle.
