Zenith Sangma’s return reignites Congress resurgence in Meghalaya

In a major political development, former minister and prominent Garo Hills leader Zenith M. Sangma has rejoined the Congress Party, marking what the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) describes as a “decisive turning point” in the state’s political landscape.

The announcement was made in Shillong by MPCC president Vincent H. Pala, following approval from the All India Congress Committee (AICC).

Sangma’s return, the Congress said, is a direct rebuttal to the ruling NPP’s claim that the party is “finished” in Meghalaya. Instead, it signifies a renewed wave of confidence and revival for the Grand Old Party, which has been rebuilding its grassroots networks and reconnecting with long-time supporters.

The MPCC hailed Sangma’s homecoming as symbolic of a wider political reawakening,
