Following a meeting of the newly-elected MLAs, Soren visited Raj Bhavan to meet Governor Santosh Gangwar, where he tendered his resignation as chief minister and submitted a list of 56 elected MLAs from the alliance to prove his majority.

The governor accepted Soren's resignation and appointed him as the caretaker chief minister until the new government was formed.

Soren is expected to take the oath as chief minister on November 28 at Morabadi Ground, Ranchi.
