The National People’s Party (NPP) MLA and Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma expressed confidence that Mehtab Chandee Sangma, the NPP candidate and wife of Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma will secure a decisive victory in the upcoming Gambegre bye-election.
Along with the NPP candidate, the bye-election, set for November 13, has candidates from Congress, BJP, TMC and two independent representatives in the race.
Rakkam stated that support for Mehtab Sangma has been growing daily, with the people showing a strong preference for the NPP.
Reflecting on the 2023 MLA elections, Rakkam noted that voters in Gambegre had previously chosen Saleng A Sangma, uncertain about which party would come to power.
Now, with the NPP leading the government, Rakkam believes that voters are rallying for a party in power and for continued stability under the NPP’s leadership.
