Ranchi, Oct. 15 -- The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has announced Somesh Soren as its candidate for the upcoming Ghatshila by-election.
Somesh Soren's candidature was finalized after consultations between the party's local and central leadership.
He is set to file his nomination for the bypoll on October 17, in an event to be attended by Chief Minister Hemant Soren and several senior Mahagathbandhan leaders.
This by-election was necessitated by the death of former Education Minister Ramdas Soren in August 2025.
Somesh Soren, the late minister's son, is considered to have strong influence among the tribal electorate in the constituency.
