Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren won the vote of trust during the special session of the Assembly on Monday.
The motion of the ruling coalition was passed with 48 votes in the 81-member House. The motion was passed amidst a boycott by the BJP, its ally AJSU Party and two independents.
Earlier, he addressed the House and sought a trust vote in the special one-day session as an uncertainty continued over his political future and the ruling coalition.
The Election Commission (EC) had recommended Soren’s disqualification to Governor Ramesh Bais on August 25 following a petition by the Bharatiya Janata Party for violating Section 9A of the Representation of People Act 1951 by misusing his position and allotting mining leases to himself.
