Conrad not to contest 2018 election

SHILLONG: Conrad Sangma has said he will not contest the upcoming Assembly polls.
The statement came after Congress MP Vincent Pala said Sangma would not offer the chief minister’s post to others.
The NPP national president also said the party’s elected legislators will choose their chief minister and not any individual.
Sangma reiterated that the post of chief minister will be given to that region that gets the highest number of seats in next year’s polls and that “the party has a basic understanding of the matter”.
