Assembly Election Results 2023 Live Updates: Northeast election results show people's faith in democracy, PM Modi says
Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland Election Results live updates: The BJP-IPFT alliance won 31 seats in the 60-member Tripura assembly, securing its return to power in the northeastern state for the second time in a row. According to the Election Commission website, the BJP bagged 30 seats while the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) got one.
Meghalaya CM and Nation People's Party (NPP) supremo Conrad Sangma has sought Union home minister Amit Shah's blessings to form the next government in the hill state, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
Meanwhile, Neiphiu Rio is set to assume office as chief minister for a fifth consecutive term after a convincing win for NDPP and its ally, BJP.
If the trends hold, the BJP will retain its iron grip in the northeastern region with governments in as many as 7 out of 8 states. Meanwhile, the Congress, which once held a formidable position in the northeast, failed to make a mark in all the three states this year.
The biggest setback for Congress was in the multi-cornered contest in Meghalaya . While the party was the single-largest in 2018, this year it saw its seat share fall to single digits.
In Tripura, the debutant Tipra Motha, led by the royal scion Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, made an impressive debut with leads in 12 seats, as per the available trends.
The elections for Tripura assembly were held on February 16, where 89.95 per cent of the 28.14 lakh voters exercised their franchise. The elections for Meghalaya and Nagaland assemblies were conducted on February 27, 2023.

Election Results 2023: Why stakes are high for BJP
The stakes are particularly high for BJP as the party wants to maintain its iron grip on the northeastern states, a region where it had little to no presence prior to 2014. Currently, Meghalaya is the only state where BJP is not part of the government. Moreover, the results will signal if BJP has deepened its roots in Tripura, a Left bastion captured by the party in 2018, and made further inroads in Meghalaya and Nagaland, or the opposition has managed to dent its influence.

Election Results 2023 Live Updates: What Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said ahead of results
"There is no tension. Everywhere we will have our governments just the way it has been (from 2018). It was NDA governments then and now also all governments in the three states will return as NDA without any alliance with TMC and Congress. I think there will also be status quo on BJP CMs. Tripura, like last time, will have BJP CM, in Nagaland we have our alliance. In Meghalaya, let us see how much seats BJP gets"
07:47 (IST) Mar 02
A secret meeting between Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Meghalaya counterpart, Conrad Sangma, in Guwahati on Tuesday night - before counting of votes in three northeastern states on Thursday - sparked off speculation about the return of NPP to the NDA fold after a bitter campaign in which both parties went solo.
