Hemant Soren, in a strategic move, steers clear of competing in Dumka, unleashing JMM stalwarts for the electoral fray. JMM's roster features MLA Nalin Soren fronting Dumka, while Giridih is contended by Mathura Mahato.

In the run-up to the ultimate political showdown—the Lok Sabha elections—JMM has catapulted its candidates for the hotly contested seats of Giridih and Dumka. Reasserting his political stronghold, Nalin Soren will carry the party's mantle in Dumka, paralleled by Mathura Prasad Mahato's candidature in Giridih. Advocates of empowerment, both aspirants hold the banner of public service as sitting MLAs in their respective domains: Nalin as a beacon of hope in Shikaripara, and Mathura maintaining a legacy in Tundi's political arena.
