The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on April 4 nominated its Shikaripada legislator Nalin Soren from the Dumka Lok Sabha seat, making it clear that jailed former chief minister Hemant Soren will not contest from the constituency as speculated earlier.
The party also fielded its Tundi MLA Mathura Prasad Mahto from Giridih Lok Sabha seat.
"The party has decided to field Nalin Soren from Dumka seat and Mathura Prasad Mahto from Giridih," a JMM official said.
