Shillong, Dec 19: National People’s Party (NPP) national president and Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Monday hoped that his party will get majority to form the government in the 2023 elections.
The chief minister said this while addressing a meeting to induct two former Congress legislators Ampareen Lyngdoh (East Shillong) and Mohendro Rapsang (West Shillong) and former UDP leader and Narpuh MDC Emlangki Lamare into NPP.
Conrad said it gives him happiness that senior leaders are joining the NPP. “I used to watch Ampareen speak, I used to watch all our leaders and I used to say these are the kinds of leaders that we need for our state’” he said.
The chief minister said the joining of these leaders is because people are seeing hope and that maybe it is possible that there will be a political party that will again get a single majority in the Assembly after 50 years of statehood.
