Trinamool Congress is now Meghalaya’s main opposition party in its 60-member assembly by virtue of the defection of 12 of the 17 Congress MLAs, including former chief minister Mukul Sangma in November 2021. However, one of the 12 resigned from the assembly and also from the party last month, reducing the TMC’s strength in the House to 11.
Besides Tripura and Assam, Meghalaya is one of the northeastern states where the TMC is trying to make inroads. The party had also contested the assembly election in Manipur in 2012.
