Deputy Chairman of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) Ablinush Marak has been nominated to be the new Chief Executive Member (CEM).

“Marak, who is also MDC from Siju constituency, will soon be replacing the incumbent CEM Rakesh A Sangma,” sources in the GHADC said on Saturday.

The National People’s Party (NPP) was under pressure following massive protests staged by the NGOs and people of Garo Hills against the election of Rakesh to the CEM’s post.
