JMM legislator Rabindra Nath Mahato secured his position as the Speaker of the sixth Jharkhand Assembly without facing opposition on Tuesday. The Chief Minister, Hemant Soren, put forward Mahato’s name, which was backed by fellow JMM MLA Mathura Prasad Mahato during the assembly’s second day of sessions.

Mahato, who held the same role in the previous assembly, was elected unopposed as rival parties chose not to field a candidate. Congratulating Mahato, Hemant Soren commended his leadership in upholding the House's dignity and expressed confidence in achieving the state’s development goals collaboratively.

Rabindra Nath Mahato retained his seat from the Nala assembly constituency, defeating BJP’s Madhav Chandra Mahato effectively.
