Chief minister Pratapsing Rane won the confidence vote by 17-16, with speaker Francisco Sardinha casting his vote after there was a tie.

United Goans Democratic Party legislator Mathany Saldhana was earlier restrained from voting, by passing an ad-interim order on his disqualification petition.

The proceedings ended within five minutes. The motion was put to vote amidst protests from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party members.
