Jharkhand Election Results 2019: Hemant Soren likely to be next CM as Congress-JMM-RJD crosses magical mark

With the opposition JMM-Congress-RJD alliance currently leading on 43 Assembly seats, it seems clear that JMM working president Hemant Soren is going to be the next chief minister of Jharkhand. Even the final result are yet to come, both the Congress and RJD have supported Soren for the next chief ministerial post in the state. "There is going to be a clean sweep for Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) in this election. We have fought elections under the leadership of Hemant Soren. He is going to be the Chief Minister," said RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav.

Congress leader RPN Singh also backed the JMM chief as the CM candidate for the seat."We were confident that Jharkhand will give clear majority to our alliance. Trends are good but I won't make comment until final result. We've clearly said that Hemant Soren will be CM candidate of our alliance," he added.
