About Lohardaga

Lohardaga

Lohardaga: Reserved for Scheduled Tribes, Lohardaga holds political significance, especially given its tribal and historical context. This constituency, located in the district west of the capital, Ranchi, is largely populated by tribal communities such as the Oraon and Munda. These communities have considerable influence over election outcomes, as most residents engage in agriculture and allied activities.
 
In 2019, Congress’ Rameshwar Oraon won the seat, defeating BJP’s Sukhdeo Bhagat.
 
The Lohardaga constituency had 245,000 electors in 2019 (125,000 men and 121,000 women), with 175,000 voters (87,000 each of men and women) casting ballots. Voter turnout was 71.23 per cent.
