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 .

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.
