The results will be declared on May 23.

Of the 14 Jharkhand Lok Sabha constituencies, three – Chatra, Loherdaga and Palamu – will vote on April 29, the first phase of elections in the state. Still, the much-coveted, Chatra is sticking out like a sore thumb for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The state unit of the party has failed to recommend a “winning candidate” for the seat.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, Sudarshan Bhagat of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had won the seat by defeating Rameshwar Oraon of the Congress party. Bhagat had won the seat by 226,666 votes.
