Ranchi: The Hemant Soren government on Monday won the vote of confidence in the Jharkhand Assembly amid the opposition's walkout.
A total of 45 MLAs voted in favour of the confidence motion in the 81-member assembly.
Independent legislator Saryu Roy did not participate in the voting process.
Soren was sworn in as the chief minister on July 4, a day after his predecessor Champai Soren stepped down from the post.
Hemant Soren was released from jail on June 28 after the Jharkhand High Court granted bail to him in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam. He had resigned as the chief minister, shortly before his arrest on January 31 by the Enforcement Directorate.
