The early election trends suggest that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has gained a sizeable lead in Nagaland while retaining the top spot in Tripura. However, it was trailing behind in Meghalaya where Conrad Sangma's National People's Party (NPP) was in the driving seat. As of the last update, the BJP-Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) alliance was leading on 39 seats in Nagaland while NPF was ahead on three seats. Incumbent Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio who has been in office for three terms may have an uphill task to retain his position as BJP becomes the single largest party. However, according to early trends, he was also leading from his Northern Angami-II seat. “We are hoping to win by record margin, including from my seat and form the next government,” Rio had said ahead of the result announcement.

After the election last week, most exit polls had suggested that there might be a hung assembly in the state. Notably, Nagaland is the only state in the country to have no opposition as all parties having a presence in the 60-member assembly had backed the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party-led government. In Meghalaya, NPP was ahead on 25 seats. Meanwhile, UDP and Congress, led on nine and five seats respectively. BJP and NPP went to elections separately after a five-year alliance. Though the parties have been in talks, it is still unclear if there will be a post-poll alliance. As for Tripura, BJP is expected to get another term, having destroyed CPM's 35-year rule in the state in the last assembly polls. As predicted by most exit polls, BJP is leading the state with 33 seats, per the early trends. Chief Minister of Tripura, Manik Saha is leading from his Town Bordowali constituency.

Northeast election results 2023: BJP set to retain Nagaland, Tripura; NPP leads in Meghalaya

Meghalaya assembly elections:&nbsp;Exit polls show that the National People’s Party (NPP) is all set to win the most seats in Meghalaya. The predictions show that 18-24 of the seats out of the total 60 seats will be won by the NPP.

The Congress is likely to win 6-12 seats, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) 5-9 seats, while others are expected to take over on 17-29 seats.

If the projected figures turn true, the NPP will form the government and once again thwart the hopes of the BJP to lead in the state. Ahead of the polls, the BJP called the incumbent government of Meghalaya the ‘most corrupt’.&nbsp;

The tenure of the 10th Meghalaya Assembly is scheduled to end on 15 March 2023. The previous assembly elections were held in February 2018. After the election, a coalition led by the National People's Party formed the state government, with Conrad Sangma becoming Chief Minister.
