Shillong, May 2: The merger of PDF with NPP is likely to be held on May 6.
PDF has two legislators – Banteidor Lyngdoh (Mawkynrew) and Gavin M Mylliem (Sohra).
An internal meeting of the PDF was held on Tuesday at the party office in the city.
When approached, the party leaders did not want to reveal the agenda of the meeting.
“We will let you know the decision later”, a party leader said.
Earlier, the NPP president and chief minister Conrad Sangma said the party is waiting for the PDF to take a decision.
“We have been engaging with the PDF leaders and we have been discussing with them about the merger possibility”, he told reporters.
“I am told the PDF is having a central executive committee meeting as we speak…and post that they will have a general council meeting so I think PDF leaders will be in a better position to telly ou what the decision they are taking,” he said.
On any cabinet berths to PDF MLAs, Conrad said, “As of now we are only discussing the matter so we will wait for the decision that they take and accordingly decide on how to move forward.”l
