The NPP-led alliance with 32 MLAs has staked claim to form the next government in the northeastern state under the leadership of Conrad Sangma. The NPP won 26 seats in the recently concluded elections, while its ally, the BJP, won only two seats. Two Hill State People’s Democratic Party MLAs, who won the elections, have also pledged their support to the NPP-BJP coalition, along with two other Independent legislators.

Two major regional parties, the United Democratic Party (UDP) and the People’s Democratic Front (PDF), on Sunday extended their support to the NPP-led alliance, increasing the number of MLAs backing the Sangma-led coalition to 45.
