This year’s election in the state of Meghalaya is expected to be a multipoint contest. The party led the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance which ran the state assembly for one term under Conrad K Sangma as the Chief Minister. Conrad K Sangma leads the National People’s Party of the state of Meghalaya.

And it is likely that the same old allies—the BJP and UDP—will kiss and make up. And in Meghalaya, this is pretty common and the size of the bed does not matter. It is almost certain that no single party will get a majority (it has never happened in Meghalaya except once in 1972) and another coalition is imminent. The Congress is unlikely to get more than four or five seats and the UDP will also not get more than five or six seats. The same goes for the UDP, a partner in the outgoing coalition government. The irony about Meghalaya is that while it is a matrilineal society and one that is romanticised by people across the country and the world as a State where women are naturally empowered, it has its drawbacks. That the Congress has been able to field candidates from all 60 seats is quite a feat. It is no wonder then that the ruling Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA), comprising the National People’s Party (NPP), the BJP, the United Democratic Party (UDP), the People’s Democratic Front, and the Hill State People’s Democratic Party, has been embroiled in many scams over the past five years. Himanta Biswa Sarma, the current Assam Chief Minister and the BJP’s mover and shaker in the north-eastern region, then moved swiftly to cobble up a coalition government with the two BJP MLAs included. In 2021, the Congress high command appointed Lok Sabha MP Vincent Pala as its Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) Chief despite knowing that Pala and former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma were arch-rivals. To escape the scrutiny of the court, coal from Meghalaya was allegedly rerouted via Assam towards Bangladesh and shown as coal coming from Jharkhand and other states into Meghalaya. The construction of the new State Assembly building was finally taken up on 80 acres of land at the New Shillong Township in 2019-20.
