Shillong, Feb 24: The National People’s Party (NPP) is all set to form the new executive committee (EC) in the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) even as it decided to introspect following the debacle in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) elections.

Shangpliang said it will be a bit to early to preempt the partners that would be converging together or working together with NPP. “But definitely, from what I see, the MDA partners that are already in the government would also partner with NPP in the JHADC” he said.

“I would also like to thank the people of Jaintia Hills for the support and for the confidence that they have shown by giving 13 MDCs to the NPP” he added.

“We would like to respect the mandate of the people and we would like also to tell the people that the NPP is here to serve every section of the people. From the Party I would like to thank the people of every constituencies falling within the KHADC for their mandate” he added.

The party’s spokesperson said that NPP MDCs is ready to sit in the opposition along with other partners and would serve the people for the next few years in the District Council.
