Hemant Soren government wins trust vote with 45 votes in Jharkhand

The Chief Minister Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government proved the majority by winning the trust vote in the state assembly on Monday, July 8. Soren won the confidence motion with votes of 45 MLAs in his favour.

After winning the Floor test, Jharkhand Soren said, "...Since 2019, we have been continuously following constitutional procedures and today again you all got to see the strength and power of the ruling party. On my behalf, I thank the Speaker and all the respected members of the ruling party."

In the 81-member Jharkhand assembly, the Chief Minister Soren-led coalition government needed to prove the support of 41 MLAs to be in power. The ruling alliance -- comprising of JMM, Congress, and Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) -- has already handed over a support list of 44 MLAs to the Governor when Hemant Soren staked his claim to form the government on July 3 ahead of his swearing-in.
