Three UDP MLAs File Merger Petition to Join Meghalaya's Ruling NPP

Three members of the United Democratic Party (UDP) in Meghalaya have filed a merger application to join the ruling National People's Party (NPP), indicating a possible realignment in the state's political dynamics. The application, submitted recently, seeks to merge the UDP with the NPP, which currently holds a majority in the state assembly. If approved, the merger would increase the NPP's seat count and consolidate its control over Meghalaya's government. The UDP members have not yet disclosed their identities, and the NPP leadership has not released a formal response to the merger request. The decision will be reviewed by party leaders and could have significant implications for upcoming elections.
