The contest in Karnataka is largely between the BJP and the Congress. However, the JD(S) has previously demonstrated its significant influence in the state's politics, serving as a crucial component of the political machinery.

The last state assembly election was held on May 12, 2018, after which a coalition government was formed by the JD(S) and Congress. The coalition was led by HD Kumaraswamy as the chief minister.

In July 2019, the coalition government fell apart as several members of the Congress and JD (S) resigned from the assembly, leading to the formation of a new government by the BJP. BS Yediyurappa became the new chief minister.

On July 26, 2021, Yediyurappa resigned from his position as chief minister, and Basavaraj Bommai took over the reins on July 28, 2021.
