Political Journey and Background
Conrad Sangma, son of former Meghalaya Chief Minister PA Sangma, entered politics after completing his studies. He earned a bachelor’s in Business Administration from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in Finance from Imperial College London.
He contested the 2004 Meghalaya Assembly elections, narrowly losing by 182 votes, and won a seat in 2008 alongside his brother.
After his father passed away in 2016, Sangma became president of the National People’s Party (NPP) and was later elected to the 16th Lok Sabha from Tura.
Sangma served as Leader of the Opposition in Meghalaya’s eighth Legislative Assembly, represented the Selsella constituency, and became the state’s youngest Finance Minister in 2008. He also led the Nationalist Youth Congress, building a strong political profile.
At 43, Sangma continues to lead Meghalaya, focusing on development and progress while upholding his family’s political legacy. Leaders across India celebrated his contributions, recognising his vision and dedication to public service.
