In the 2024 Jharkhand Assembly elections, seven out of 12 turncoat candidates won, with notable victories from Champai Soren (BJP), Umakant Rajak (JMM), and Manju Devi (BJP). However, five others, including Kamlesh Kumar Singh and Kedar Hazra, lost their races. The shifting allegiances played a key role in the contest, with some faltered due to internal party splits and voter opposition.
