Despite losing ground in Meghalaya, exit polls show a competitive four-way race in Tripura.
Throughout 59 Assembly constituencies in Meghalaya, votes were cast at 3,419 polling places. In Nagaland, voters went to the polls in 59 of 60 Assembly districts.
Meghalaya and Nagaland's assembly elections, held under strict security, concluded on Monday, and all attention are on the results.
Meghalaya's 3,419 polling places served voters in 59 Assembly districts, whereas in Nagaland, 59 of 60 districts had ballots cast.
A Matrize polling data for Meghalaya gave the NPP 21–26 seats, the BJP 6–11, the TMC 8–13, the Congress 3–6, and others 10–19.
Meghalaya's election was still a four-way race. The Congress came out on top in the most recent Assembly elections with 21 seats, but the National People's Party, led by Conrad Sangma, got 20 seats and formed the government through a coalition with the BJP.
This time around, however, there is no pre-election agreement amongst the major parties; instead, the Congress, BJP, NPP, and TMC are all trying to achieve a mandate on their own.
In 2018, an alliance between the Naga People's Democratic Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed the government of Nagaland. The Naga People's Front (NPF), which won the most votes during the most recent Assembly election, is now struggling since many of its top officials have defected to the rival Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP).
According to the Matrize exit poll, the BJP+NDPP will take 35–43 seats in Nagaland, while the Congress will receive only 1–3 seats, the NPF could take 2–5, the NPP will take 1, and the rest of the parties would receive between 6 and 11.
Voter turnout was approximately 88% on February 16 in Tripura.
According to an exit poll conducted by India Today, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would take between 36 and 45 seats in the Tripura Legislature.
