Meghalaya Assembly Election 2023: Check out who won and who lost from their seats

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Thursday (March 2) thanked the voters in his state for supporting his party NPP. "We'd like to thank the people of the state for having voted for us. We are still short of a few seats, so we'll wait for the final results to come out. We will see what next steps are to be taken based on the final results," he said..

The BJP, a part of the ruling alliance, had decided to go it alone and contested all 60 seats, while Congress, once the party to beat in the tribal-dominated state, is eyeing a comeback. Meghalaya recorded a voter turnout of 85.25 per cent amid peaceful polling.

Meanwhile, the exit polls have put the incumbent NPP ahead of five main political parties — Congress party, Trinamool Congress (TMC), BJP and UDP. However, no party is getting a clear majority in the 60-member Assembly, throwing up the possibility of a hung house. In such an eventuality, the NPP will have to forge alliances with other parties to stake its claim and form the government for a second straight term.
