SHILLONG, FEB 26: Deputy Chairman of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) Ablinush Marak has been nominated to be the new Chief Executive Member (CEM).
“Marak, who is also MDC from Siju constituency, will soon be replacing the incumbent CEM Rakesh A Sangma,” sources in the GHADC said on Saturday.
The National People’s Party (NPP) was under pressure following massive protests staged by the NGOs and people of Garo Hills against the election of Rakesh to the CEM’s post.
On Friday, Rakesh had announced his decision to step down from the CEM post.
Sources said that the decision to nominate Albinush was taken during a meeting held among the ruling MDCs to discuss the prevailing situation in Garo Hills. The meeting unanimously decided to nominate Marak as the new CEM, they said.
