Meghalaya: Conrad Sangma ahead by 44 votes from BJPs Bernad Marak
With just 44 votes separating him from Bernard N. Marak of the BJP, the incumbent chief minister Conrad K. Sangma was in the lead in the South Tura district. Between Conrad and Bernad Marak, there is a close battle.
The stakes for the BJP appear higher because the outcome will show whether it has gained more ground in Meghalaya or whether the opposition has succeeded in eroding its support. According to exit surveys, Meghalaya's mandate may be splintered. Conrad Sangma's NPP, which is anticipated to become the only major party in Meghalaya, has an advantage according to a number of exit polls.
