Shillong, Aug 23: The opposition All India Trinamool Congress (or TMC) has decided to field lone woman MDC in the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) as its candidate for the upcoming bye-election to the Gambegre Assembly seat.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, party leader and former chief minister, Dr. Mukul Sangma informed that the president of the Pradesh Trinamool Congress Committee Charles Pyngrope and other members of the election committee have discussed the application of the candidature of the party MDC from Dengnakpara, Sadhiarani M Sangma, who is also the wife of his brother and former Rangsakona legislator, Zenith M Sangma.

“The committee was unanimous in its decision to recommend her (Sadhiarani) name for final approval of the candidature as the candidate of the TMC for the forthcoming Gambegre bye election. So we will wait for the approval of the chairperson and the candidate will be announced soon,” he said while adding that the party is on ground zero and is working hard to win the Gambegre seat.

The bye-election is necessitated following the resignation of Congress leader Saleng A Sangma after he was elected as Tura MP.
