Results for elections held for Jharkhand’s Ranchi assembly seat are being announced today. Ranchi assembly seat went to the polls in December 2019 along with 80 other assembly constituencies of Jharkhand. The Jharkhand assembly elections were held over five phases in December 2019. The overall voter turnout was recorded at 65.17 per cent in the Jharkhand assembly elections 2019.

The Ranchi assembly seat voted on December 12 in the third phase of the Jharkhand assembly elections 2019. Results for the Jharkhand assembly election results 2019 are being announced on Monday, December 23.

Counting for the elections held to Jharkhand’s Ranchi assembly seat is currently on.

The Ranchi assembly is located in the Ranchi district of Jharkhand and falls under the Ranchi parliamentary constituency. In the 2014 Jharkhand assembly election, Chandreshwar Prasad Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won from the Ranchi assembly seat.

Jharkhand is currently ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party under Chief Minister Raghubhar Das.

In the 2019 Jharkhand assembly elections, the BJP is up against an alliance of the Congress and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha. Jharkhand is the third state where elections have been held since the 2019 Lok Sabha election when the Narendra Modi-led BJP stormed back.

Apart from Jharkhand, elections have been held in Maharashtra and Haryana. In both the states, the BJP emerged as the single-largest party but could not secure a majority on its own. In Haryana, the BJP formed government by joining hands with the Jannayak Janata Party. In Maharashtra, the BJP failed to form a stable coalition, which led to an alliance of Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress coming to power.

RANCHI: Amidst political ripples, former Federation of Jharkhand Commerce and Industries (FJCCI) president Pawan Sharma filed his nomination from the Ranchi Assembly seat on Monday.

Though FJCCI officials denied any role in Sharma’s candidature, the decision was said to be taken during a state-level meeting of the apex trade body on Monday to field its candidate from Ranchi and Godda to give a befitting reply to the state government’s alleged apathy towards its cause.

The FJCCI had put up at least eight hoardings in Ranchi in August this year with a slogan ‘Vyaparion Ki Marmik Pukar, Ab To Sudh Lo Sarkar’ to highlight their plight, which they claimed was due to government’s apathy and polices. 

Sharma was accompanied by hundreds of traders, including several former FJCCI presidents and working committee members while filing his nomination. 

In a press release, the FJCCI said it is entitled to field candidates in elections as it is not a registered political party.

Sharma, however, claimed to have the support of traders along with the common man of Ranchi. 

“Looking at state government’s apathy towards the common people, I had to take this decision and have the full support of the business community as well as the common people of Ranchi,” said Sharma.
