Lapang, who was the Chief Minister, was today unanimously chosen as the leader of the state Congress Legislature Party at a meeting of the 25 newly-elected Congress MLAs, party spokesman Mukul Sangma said.
He said Lapang would now meet Governor S S Sidhu to formally stake claim to form the government.
Sangma was, however, silent on alliance partners.
The Congress, which had fought the March 3 Assembly polls alone after heading a coalition government, has emerged as the single largest party in the elections which has thrown up a hung House.
