Meghalaya Assembly Elections 2023: Meghalaya is all set to decide its political fate in the Assembly polls today i.e. on 26 February. Polling is held in 3,419 booths, of which 640 have been identified as vulnerable. The voting is concluded. The counting of votes will take place on March 2 alongside Nagaland and Tripura. 323 booths have been classified as critical, and 84 booths have been classified as both critical and vulnerable. After vigorous campaigning by all the political parties, the 369 candidates for the assembly will have their political futures decided on Monday.
The opposition TMC, former ally BJP, and other regional parties like the United Democratic Party and People's Democratic Front are all being opposed by the NPP, which has been leading the government alliance for the past five years. The NPP has nominated candidates in 56 constituencies, the TMC in 57, and the UDP in 46, while the Congress and the BJP are contesting 59 seats.

Meghalaya Assembly Elections 2023: Key Constituencies
South Tura
The first on the list is South Tura, where Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and BJP's Bernard N Marak are engaged in combat. For this position, the Congress has nominated Brenzield Ch Marak.
West Shillong
The BJP's state chief Ernest Mawrie, one of the party's most recognisable figures in the state, is running in West Shillong, which is ranked second on the list. The incumbent NPP's candidate, Mohendro Rapsang, is running against Iwan Maria of the TMC.
Sutnga Saipung
The seat becomes significance because Vincent Pala, the state chairman of the Congress, is running from the Sutnga Saipung constituency for the first time. The political climate of Meghalaya may be significantly impacted by Pala's performance in the elections.
