**Ranchi, Jharkhand:** Jharkhand is poised for a return of Hemant Soren as Chief Minister, with his INDIA alliance securing a clear majority in the state assembly elections. Initial trends indicate the alliance is leading on 51 seats, surpassing the halfway mark. However, a contrasting note is struck by the performance of Soren’s wife, Kalpana Soren, who is currently trailing by approximately 4500 votes in the Gandey assembly constituency.
The NDA alliance is currently ahead in 28 seats, with two other seats remaining undecided. While the overall victory for the INDIA alliance appears certain, the close contest in Gandey highlights the fluctuating nature of the election results. Further updates are awaited as the vote counting progresses.
