The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Meghalaya Legislative Assembly&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the [[unicameral]] [[legislature]] of the [[States and union territories of India|Indian state]] of [[Meghalaya]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LA&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Meghalaya Legislative Assembly|url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.gov.in/States/meghalaya/meghalaya-w.htm|publisher=National Informatics Centre}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Constituted as a directly elected body in 1972, it has 60 members, filled through direct elections held every five years.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Like other Indian states, Meghalaya has a [[parliamentary system of government]]. The executive branch of the Meghalaya Government is derived from the Legislative Assembly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In independent India, the areas now constituting the state of Meghalaya were part of the state of [[Assam]] and represented in the Assam Legislative Assembly. The [[Indian Parliament]] passed the Assam Reorganisation (Meghalaya) Act in 1969, which led to the establishment of an autonomous state of Meghalaya within Assam on 2 April 1970.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;E&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Encyclopaedia of North-East India: Meghalaya|author=Hamlet Bareh|publisher=Mittal Publications|pages=9–12|year=2001|isbn=978-81-7099-791-7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A legislature of 37 members for the new autonomous state was established, with representatives elected indirectly by the autonomous direct councils.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;E&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The first sitting of the assembly took place in Tura on 14 April 1970. In 1971, the Indian Parliament passed the [[North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971|North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act]], which converted Meghalaya from an autonomous state within Assam to a full member state of the Indian Union.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The State of Meghalaya was officially formed on 21 January 1972.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;LA&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The Legislative Assembly was then reconstituted as a directly elected body.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The regions of Meghalaya are represented in the Assembly, with 29 members elected from Khasi Hills, 7 from Jaintia Hills and 24 from Garo Hills.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://ceomeghalaya.nic.in/|title=Homepage: Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, Government of Meghalaya|publisher=Chief Electoral Officer, Government of Meghalaya}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

| rowspan=5|INC got the highest number of seats (25) but since no majority could be secured by it even after gaining 3 Independents&amp;#039; support, Lapang resigned as Chief Minister in less than 10 days. Then a coalition called [[Meghalaya Progressive Alliance]] was formed, comprising all non-Congress parties like [[Nationalist Congress Party|NCP]] (15), UDP (11), [[Hill State People&amp;#039;s Democratic Party|HSPDP]] (2), [[Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement|KHNAM]] (1) and Independents (3), thus 33 in total, to form the government under Roy. However, the coalition barely survived a year and collapsed leading to promulgation of President&amp;#039;s Rule. After a month, several parties of the Alliance left and supported Congress to form the government with Lapang again being sworn in as the Chief Minister.&lt;br /&gt;
