The Trinamool Congress has announced the name of former minister Zenith Sangma as its candidate for the Lok Sabha election from Tura seat.
Sangma’s candidature was cleared by All India Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee. However, the party is yet to decide on the candidate for the Shillong seat.
With this announcement, Tura seat will witness a four-corner contest between NPP, Congress, BJP and Trinamool Congress.
The NPP has already decided to renominate sitting MP Agatha Sangma while Congress has named party legislator Saleng Sangma for the seat. The BJP is yet to declare its candidate.
