Shillong, March 2: A big loss for AITC leader Dr Mukul Sangma as he loses Tikrikilla constituency to NPP candidate Jimmy D. Sangma by a huge margin.

Mukul had earlier decided to fight for two seats in this election that include Tikrikilla and Songsak constituencies. However, he is leading from the Songsak constituency.

Meanwhile, NPP is seen to be emerging as the single largest party in Meghalaya as per Election Result Trends and BJP has managed to retain two seats as of now.

Shillong, March 2 (IANS) Conrad Sangma's National People's Party (NPP) is maintaining a lead in 23 seats as the counting of votes got underway on Thursday for the February 27 Meghalaya Assembly polls.

Compared to the two seats they won in the 2018 elections, the BJP is ahead in almost 10 seats, according to the early trends in counting.

While the Trinamool Congress is leading in 10 seats, the Congress party, which was the single largest party in Meghalaya in the last Assembly election, is trailing. The grand-old party is leading in only nine seats.

Notably, UDP was a part of the NPP-led government in Meghalaya for the last five years, although the party has not forged an alliance with the NPP and fought the election separately.
