Conrad Sangma, whose NPP emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly election, is likely to take oath as the Meghalaya chief minister on March 7.

The United Democratic Party, which was NPP's ally, emerged as the second-largest party, winning 11 seats. The NPP had decided to contest solo ahead of the election, following a rift over corruption allegations by the BJP against the NPP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to attend the ceremony.

With UDP emerging as the second largest party, winning five seats more than in last elections, there is already speculation in political circles that it will stake claim to a larger share in power this time. Though Sangma is the natural choice as CM to lead an alliance with BJP, the postpoll alliance scenario isn’t clear as his government might have to explore the option of seeking support from United Democratic Party (UDP), which won 11 seats. Meghalaya BJP president Ernest Mawrie wrote to the CM saying that at the directions of the party’s national president, JP Nadda, “I do hereby formally communicate with you and submit a ‘Letter of Support’ for the institution of the new government as an outcome of the results of the assembly elections.
