Speaking to reporters, Nongrum expressed heartfelt gratitude to the leadership of the Meghalaya Congress, the Ri-Bhoi District Congress Committee and Nongpoh Block Congress Committee for entrusting him with the responsibility to contest the party in the upcoming election.
He further stated that his decision to seek the party ticket was driven by a strong desire to serve the people of Nongpoh constituency and contribute meaningfully to the overall development of the state.
