The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) each secured 18 seats, while the Indian National Congress won 14 seats.

The Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) (JVM-P) obtained 11 seats, and several smaller parties, including the All Jharkhand Students’ Union (AJSU) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), captured a few seats as well.

[1] Shibu Soren of the JMM was able to form a government in December 2009 with support from various smaller parties, including the BJP.

The election highlighted significant political shifts in Jharkhand, particularly with rising voter discontent towards policies perceived as anti-tribal by the BJP.
