Election Results 2023 Highlights: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with its regional allies is set to retain power in Tripura and Nagaland, whereas, the picture still remains unclear in Meghalaya, even as incumbent Chief Minister Conrad Sangma's National People's Party (NPP) has emerged as the single-largest party.
In Tripura, the BJP is cruising above the halfway-mark, thereby diminishing the hopes of Tipra Motha to play the role of kingmaker. In Nagaland, its ally NDPP has dominated the polls, and the coalition is close to bag a two-third majority. Meghalaya has thrown a mixed mandate, with the NPP emerging as the single-largest party, but short of the majority mark. The BJP, whose ties were severed with Sangma's party ahead of the elections, has failed to make a major impact.
