2009 Indian general election in Meghalaya
The 2009 Indian general election in Meghalaya was a significant electoral event held on April 30, 2009, as part of the 15th Lok Sabha elections. Meghalaya, a state in northeastern India, elected its two representatives for the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. The election was marked by the dominance of regional and national political parties, with the Indian National Congress (INC) and the United Democratic Party (UDP) being the key contenders. The INC, led by Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, aimed to consolidate its position in the state, while the UDP sought to advocate for local interests.
