NEW DELHI: Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Hemant Soren will take oath as the 14th chief minister of Jharkhand on Thursday at Morabadi Ground in Ranchi. The oath will be administered by governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar.
This will be the 49-year-old JMM leader’s fourth stint as chief minister. Soren retained the Barhait seat by defeating BJP’s Gamliyel Hembrom by a margin of 39,791 votes in the recently held Assembly polls. “I’m grateful to the people of Jharkhand for their continued trust in our leadership,” Soren said, adding, “This victory reflects the aspirations of the people, and we will work towards fulfilling them.”
