The BJP was leading in eight Lok Sabha seats in Jharkhand, with its ally AJSU Party leading in one, suggesting a potential loss of at least three seats for the saffron party in the state. In the 2019 polls, the BJP had won 11 seats, and its ally AJSU Party had secured one.
According to the current trends, the Congress was leading in two seats, and the JMM in three in the state. Union Minister and sitting MP Arjun Munda was trailing Congress's Kalicharan Munda in Khunti Lok Sabha seat by approximately 1.39 lakh votes, indicating a clear defeat.
In Singhbhum, JMM's Joba Manjhi was ahead by 1.46 lakh votes over her nearest rival Geeta Kora of the BJP. Kora, wife of former Jharkhand CM Madhu Koda, had joined the BJP before polls.
