Tura: Former Chief Minister and current leader of the opposition, Mukul Sangma is likely to contest from the Tikrikila constituency in West Garo Hills (WGH) along with his current constituency of Songsak in East Garo Hills (EGH).
While there has been no confirmation by Mukul over contesting the Tikrikilla seat, ground indicators point to him fighting from the two seats.
Tikrikilla is currently represented by All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) MLA Jimison Sangma, who contested the seat and won on a Congress ticket in 2018. Jimison joined the AITC but later switched camps to join the NPP, though not officially. At least five candidates are expected to contest from the constituency. They include candidates from the BJP, Congress, and the United Democratic Party (UDP) among others.
