It was supported by eight independent MLAs and two MLAs belonging to the Nationalist Congress Party, following which Mukul Sangma was re-elected as the leader of the legislature party and hence the chief minister.[3]
Sangma was sworn in as the chief minister for the second consecutive time on 5 March 2013 by Governor Ranjit Shekhar Mooshahary at the Raj Bhavan complex.
