Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaApril 17, 2023

National People’s Party (NPP) national president and chief minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday said there has been no final conclusion yet on the discussion for the People’s Democratic Front (PDF) to merge with the NPP.

“Discussions are taking place but as I said there is no final conclusion or anything yet. Therefore, we will wait and see when the time comes,” Sangma told reporters.

Earlier, Lyngdoh, who is also PDF working president had said, “Talks are on to merge with the NPP. We will take a call at the right time.”

Talks are on to merge the People’s Democratic Front, an ally of the ruling coalition in Meghalaya, with the NPP ahead of the May 10 poll to Sohiong assembly seat where election was adjourned in February, a PDF leader said on Thursday. 

 When asked, Lyngdoh had said he cannot say anything further as decisions will not be taken by him alone.
