Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren today won the trust vote in the assembly, six days after being sworn-in as the head of the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance.
The JMM alliance won 43 votes in the 82-member house while the Opposition got 37 votes.
"I gave a list of 43 MLAs support to Governor Syed Ahmed and now we have proved it," Mr Soren, who was sworn in on July 13 after he staked claim, said on winning the confidence motion.
Speaker C P Singh did not vote as there was no tie.
The Opposition had moved a petition that Mr Larka should not be allowed in the voting process following the recent Supreme Court judgement that no person shall vote at any election if he is in prison or in police custody.
Nalin Soren entered the house after securing a bail from the Supreme Court, while Sita Soren came to the house in the morning.
Both the MLAs were not sighted till yesterday and Jharkhand High Court had earlier pulled up the police for their failure in arresting them.
