The Ampati by- polls which was held  on Monday after Mukul Sangma resigned from the seat and retained Songsak.

Admitting that it will be difficult for him, he, however said that he had taken the responsibly of looking after Songsak since the socio economic transformation was needed across the state  for the future generations.

It may be mentioned that former Chief Minister, Mukul Sangma had contested and won the February 27  Assembly elections from both Songsak and Ampati constituencies comprehensively
