Once the merger happens, NPP’s strength in the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly will go up to 28. PDF has two MLAs
The People’s Democratic Front (PDF) has decided to merge with Conrad Sangma-led National People’s Party (NPP) tomorrow, PDF president Gavin Miguel Mylliem said today. He said that the PDF’s general council has given the go ahead for the merger.
Once the merger happens, NPP’s strength in the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly will go up to 28. PDF has two MLAs.
Briefing newspersons in Shillong, Mylliem said, “Members of the Central Executive Committee General Executive Council, Zonal Committee, district committee and primary committee were present at the meeting. The main agenda was to discuss the proposal of the central executive committee to merge with the NPP.”
When asked why the PDF chose to merge with NPP and not any other party, the PDF president said, “We have been working together with the NPP for the last 5 years under the MDA government, under the able leadership of our Hon’ble CM, who at the same time is the National President of the NPP. We had worked closely all these years and of course we had placed this agenda on the minutes of the CEC, whereby we have discussed it thoroughly through a series of discussion, that most of the members are politically inclined to the NPP considering the ideologies and also what has been set in the manifesto of the NPP.”
The merger will take place on May 6 at the office of the NPP in Lachaumiere at 4 pm. The formal signing of the merger document will be done by NPP national president, Conrad K. Sangma and PDF president Gavin Miguel Mylliem.
