GHADC Chief Executive Member Denang T Sangma resigns

The Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) Chief Executive Member, Denang T Sangma resigned from the post after the opposition Congress moved a no confidence motion against him.

Denang Sangma, who led the alliance of the National People's Party (NPP), BJP and GNC members of the 29 member House resigned after the Chairman Boston Marak of the alliance switched sides to join the rival Congress.

Boston had yesterday allowed a No-Confidence Motion to be moved.

The Chief Executive Member resigned ahead of a No-Confidence test he was to face on the floor of the House today.

Denang handed over his resignation to Chairman Boston Marak. He, however, did not attend the debate on the second date of the ongoing budget session. The budget too was not passed after the executive committee was dissolved.

The resignation of the CEM was announced by the chairman when the house assembled for the last day s session, which automatically leads to the dissolution of his executive committee.

Denang earlier had the support of 19 out of the 29 members in the House. But six members including Marak defected to the Congress.
