The 2009 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election resulted in a fragmented assembly, with no single party achieving a clear majority. 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. However, this coalition government was short-lived; the BJP withdrew its support in June 2010, leading to the government's collapse shortly thereafter[2][1]  .

The election highlighted significant political shifts in Jharkhand, particularly with rising voter discontent towards policies perceived as anti-tribal by the BJP. This led to increased support for the JMM, which positioned itself as a defender of tribal interests during its campaign.[1]
