Party leader Paul Lyngdoh warns that Meghalaya's UDP could be reduced to a single MLA after recent political shifts.
Party veteran Paul Lyngdoh has cautioned that the United Democratic Party (UDP) in Meghalaya may be left with only one Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) following recent political developments. The statement comes as the UDP has seen a series of defections and internal rifts that have weakened its foothold in the state’s political landscape. Lyngdoh’s remarks underline the urgency for the party to consolidate its leadership and rebuild its support base. While the exact number of remaining MLAs is not disclosed, the warning signals a critical juncture for the UDP as it prepares for upcoming elections and seeks to regain influence in Meghalaya’s assembly.
