According to sources, both the Congress and the RJD have accepted Soren’s offer, and preparations for the swearing-in ceremony have begun in Ranchi. The Chief Minister has convened the first session of the new assembly on December 9, during which his government will seek a trust vote to prove its majority. The 81-member Jharkhand assembly can have a maximum of 12 ministers, including the Chief Minister. Hemant Soren’s JMM, having won 34 seats, will have six ministers, while the Congress, with 16 MLAs in the new House, will get four, and the RJD will have one. The CPI(ML), which won two seats as part of the INDIA bloc led by the JMM, is not seeking any ministerial berths.
