The regional parties UDP, HSPDP and PDF have extended their support to NPP on the condition that Shri Conrad, the youngest son of former Lok Sabha Speaker PA Sangma, would be chief minister. Shri sangma, who is a non-elected member in the 60-member Assembly, was administered oath of office and secrecy along with his Council of Ministers. He now serves the state’s 12th Chief Minister.
