Dr. Mukul likely to be the Leader of Opposition, Ronnie V. Lyngdoh as Chief Whip

Shillong, August 28, 2024 – Following Ronnie V Lyngdoh’s resignation as Leader of the Opposition in the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, former Chief Minister and AITC MLA from Songsak, Dr. Mukul Sangma, has been named as his successor. The decision comes after the TMC, with five MLAs, proposed Dr. Mukul’s name for the position, with the support of Ronnie V Lyngdoh, the sole Congress MLA.

Speaker Thomas A Sangma confirmed the appointment and mentioned that since the position of Chief Whip became vacant after Tura MP Saleng Sangma stepped down, Ronnie V Lyngdoh has been proposed for the role. The Assembly follows a requirement that mandates a minimum of 10 percent representation, leading to this reshuffling of roles within the opposition.
