Three UDP MLAs Join NPP, Boosting Party's Strength in Meghalaya Assembly

The National People's Party (NPP) in Meghalaya has received a boost with the merger of three MLAs from the United Democratic Party (UDP). This move has increased the NPP's strength in the state assembly to 36 members. The development comes as the NPP seeks to consolidate its position in the state ahead of the next assembly elections. The UDP, on the other hand, has seen a reduction in its representation in the assembly following the defection of its members.
