Background

Mukul Sangma became the Chief Minister of Meghalaya for the first time on 20 April 2010 succeeding veteran leader D. D. Lapang following dissidence from his party colleagues.[2] The ruling Congress emerged as the single largest party in the state election winning 29 seats. It was supported by eight independent MLAs and two MLAs belonging to the Nationalist Congress Party, following which Mukul Sangma was re-elected as the leader of the legislature party and hence the chief minister.[3]

Sangma was sworn in as the chief minister for the second consecutive time on 5 March 2013 by Governor Ranjit Shekhar Mooshahary at the Raj Bhavan complex. On 12 March 2018,[4] eleven ministers were inducted to the council of ministers including two deputy chief ministers and nine other of cabinet rank. Three female ministers and Mukul Sangma's younger brother, Zenith Sangma were also inducted.
