MUKUL SANGMA LIKELY TO VACATE HIS AMPATI SEAT FOR HIS DAUGHTER

Former Meghayala chief minister Mukul Sangma is likely to vacate his Ampati seat to pave way for the political debut of his daughter Miani D Shira. Sangma had contested from two seats, Ampati and Songsak, and won from both. He was elected from Ampati in South West Garo Hills for six terms since 1993.

It may be mentioned that Sangma was ousted from power last week despite the Congress emerging as the single-largest party in the assembly polls. A National People’s Party (NPP) government led by Conrad Sangma was sworn in on Wednesday with support from other parties including the BJP.
