The National People’s Party (NPP) has decided to form the new executive committee (EC) in the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) after getting the support of 18 MDCs. This decision was announced by NPP national general secretary and deputy chief minister Sniawbhalang Dhar after chairing a meeting on Monday. The NPP has increased its strength to 14 after Independent MDC from Rymbai-Khliehriat Violent Lyngdoh joined the party. The party has also held a meeting with its coalition partner, the United Democratic Party (UDP), which won 3 seats, and Independent MDC from Jowai South Moonlight Pariat, and with their support, they have decided to form the new EC in the JHADC with the strength of 18 MDCs.

The NPP has also decided to again nominate Thombor Shiwat as the chief executive member (CEM) of the JHADC. On the other hand, the Voice of the People’s Party (VPP) has swept the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) polls, unseating the NPP. The VPP won 17 out of 29 seats in the KHADC, while the NPP won only 4 seats. The VPP has emerged as a regional force in Meghalaya’s Khasi hills over the years, and its victory in the KHADC polls is seen as a significant milestone. The elections were held on February 21, and the results were declared on Monday. The overall voting process went on peacefully in most of the areas, with a whopping 72.45% voter turnout in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC).

The NPP leader, Sniawbhalang Dhar, has refuted the VPP’s allegation on the use of muscle power in Jaintia Hills, saying that the VPP won 17 seats in Khasi Hills, and it does not mean that they used muscle power. He also said that the VPP was able to win in only 17 out of 29 constituencies in Khasi Hills region, and their support has reduced drastically because in the last MP elections, they won from all 29 constituencies in Khasi Hills. The political landscape of Meghalaya is complex, with several parties vying for power.
