The first phase of the Jharkhand Assembly elections took place across 43 constituencies, while the second phase saw voting in 38 seats.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren, currently leading the state, witnessed two major alliances competing for power.
His ruling party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), part of the INDIA bloc, aims to maintain its hold, while the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which includes the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), Janata Dal (United), and BJP, seeks to unseat them.
The BJP-led NDA is expected to overthrow the ruling INDIA alliance in Jharkhand, as per the exit polls prediction released on Wednesday.
However, Axis My India anticipated that JMM and its INDIA bloc partners would likely regain Jharkhand.
