On NPP losing both LS seats it contested, Conrad Sangma, in an interview with ThePrint, said his party's 'alignment' with certain other parties & anti-incumbency may have been factors.
Shillong sees protests over 2 HSPDP MLAs going against their party's decision and lending support to Conrad Sangma-led alliance. Meanwhile, demand rises for a Khasi CM this time.
The BJP and its allies are set to return to power in Tripura & Nagaland. The party has offered support to Conrad Sangma's NPP, the single largest party in Meghalaya.
TMC, which overnight emerged as Meghalaya's principal opposition party in 2021 after Congress defections, secured around 14% votes. Its vote share was less than 1% in Tripura.
Among NPP coalition partners in outgoing government, United Democratic Party has won 11 seats, while BJP has won 2 and was leading in 1 as of 5.45 pm. All 3 contested separately.
Early results show BJP & allies leading in Tripura & Nagaland, while NPP emerges as single largest party in Meghalaya. Assam CM meeting NPP’s Conrad Sangma raises hopes of alliance.
The counting of ballots is underway in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland where voting took place on 16 & 27 February, the first round of polls this year.

Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
Mr. Roy Barman’s priorities are grossly misplaced. The utterly xenophobic organisation Khasi Students Union (KSU) is running amok in Meghalaya. Beating up non-tribal residents of the state, intimidating migrant labourers to illegal ILP (Inner Line Permit) check camps – the list hoes on and on. The self-styled guardian and protector of the Khasi tribe, it has been a nuisance all along and has always maintained very close ties with the banned terrorist organisation HNLC (Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council).
The state of Meghalaya is passing through a very tough time due to the vigilante hooliganism of the KSU and other like-minded xenophobic organizations (KHNAM, HYC, FKJGP, etc.). The brunt of this violence and thuggery is being borne by the non-tribal residents of the state.
Yet, Mr. Roy Barman would not talk about it. The Print would not report on this issue. Maybe because it does not suit the Left-liberal agenda.
Such a shame!
So I will be able to attend this meeting is on Facebook
