Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) President Keshav Mahto Kamlesh on Saturday (October 12, 2024) said a decision on seat-sharing among alliance partners would be taken after announcement of the Model Code of Conduct for the ensuing Jharkhand Assembly Elections.

Elections to the 81-member assembly in Jharkhand are due this year as the term of the present Vidhan Sabha comes to an end on January 5, 2025.

"The decision on seat-sharing among alliance partners will be made based on discussions after the announcement of the Model Code of Conduct here," Mr. Mahto told reporters.

He said all alliance partners stand united and are with the JMM-led coalition Government.

Mr. Mahto also said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will come to Ranchi this month.

He, however, said that the date of Mr. Gandhi's visit is yet to be finalised.
