Tura (Meghalaya), Oct 22: Bernard Marak, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) nominee for the upcoming Gambegre by-election, is set to face Congress’s Jingjang M Marak in a highly anticipated contest. As a prominent BJP leader, Bernard Marak brings a wealth of experience to the table, poised to make a significant impact in the Garo Hills region.
His candidacy underscores BJP’s commitment to empowering local leaders in Meghalaya. As the party’s chosen representative for the Gambegre seat, Marak is well-positioned to address the unique concerns of the region’s indigenous communities.
Gambegre, one of 60 Legislative Assembly constituencies in Meghalaya, is reserved for candidates from Scheduled Tribes . Located in the West Garo Hills district, this constituency has been a key battleground in past elections.
With the by-election scheduled for Nov 13, the stage is set for a fierce contest between Bernard Marak and his Congress counterpart. Will BJP’s strategic move to field Marak pay off, or will Congress retain its hold on the constituency? The outcome will undoubtedly have significant implications for the region’s political landscape.
