The counting of votes for the assembly elections in three northeastern states of India, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Nagaland, began at 8 am on Tuesday, March 2, 2023. The elections were held on February 27, 2023, to elect new legislative assemblies in these states. A total of 56, 60,597 voters had cast their votes in the elections.
The elections were crucial for the ruling parties in these states, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeking to retain power in Tripura and Nagaland, and the National People’s Party (NPP) aiming to maintain its hold in Meghalaya. The Congress and other regional parties are also contesting the elections.
The Election Commission of India has made elaborate arrangements for the counting of votes, with strict adherence to COVID-19 protocols. The results are expected to be announced by evening, with exit polls predicting a close contest in all three states.
The election results will have significant implications for the political landscape of the northeastern region, with the BJP seeking to consolidate its position ahead of the 2024 general elections. The NPP and other regional parties, on the other hand, will be hoping to maintain their presence and play a crucial role in the formation of the government in the region.
Overall, the assembly elections in Tripura, Meghalaya, and Nagaland are a significant event in the Indian political landscape, with far-reaching implications for the future of the northeastern region.
