Shillong, Aug 21: Former Cabinet Minister and Dadenggre Legislator, James PK Sangma, has moved an election petition against  Dadenggre sitting MLA, Rupa Marak of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), stating that Marak’s bank accounts were not disclosed in the official documents while filing for nominations.

James Pangsang K Sangma, a three-time National People’s Party (NPP) MLA from Dadenggre and the elder brother of Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma, lost to Rupa M Marak in the Dadenggre constituency by a slim margin of just 18 votes in the 2023 assembly election.

Sangma’s move has prompted legal action, and the matter was brought before the court on August 14. The court has scheduled a follow-up session for two weeks.

Dadenggre- is an assembly constituency in the West Garo Hills district in Meghalaya.
