Hemant Soren will be sworn in as Jharkhand's Chief Minister today after his JMM-led coalition won 56 of the 81 Assembly seats in the recent elections. The ceremony will take place at 4 pm at Ranchi's Morabadi Ground, with Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar administering the oath.

This marks Soren's fourth term as CM and the first time a government has returned to power after completing a full term in Jharkhand. His JMM secured a record 34 seats, with allies Congress, RJD, and CPI(ML) contributing additional seats.

Soren, who retained his Barhait seat with a large margin, emphasized social justice, unity, and democracy in his message. The ceremony will be live-streamed, and schools in Ranchi will remain closed due to expected traffic disruptions.
