The alliance of JMM, Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) won 56 of the state's 81 seats, improving on its tally of 47 from five years ago. The JMM won 34 of the 43 constituencies it contested.

The party swept through all divisions except North Chotanagpur Kolhan, Santhal Pargana, South Chotanagpur, and Palamu while securing two third majority in the 81-seat Assembly. Three of these, dominated by a tribal population, held sway in the elections.
