Meghalaya Election Results 2023: Check full list of NPP winning and leading candidates

Meghalaya Election Results 2023: The National People’s Party (NPP) is emerging as the biggest party of the state with its candidates now leading on more than 20 seats. The incumbent CM of the state, Conrad K. Sangma, in a statement to the media said that his party was on the way to breaching the majority mark of 30. The chief minister of Meghalaya and candidate from the South Tura assembly district, claimed that his party would win with an absolute majority and would benefit from a divided opposition. We are not concerned about the outcomes, he declared.

However, speculations are being made that the ruling NPP party may join forces with its former ally BJP to form the government if it falls short of the magical number. A recent meeting between Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Sangma has further fuelled such speculations.
