The Election Commission of India (ECI) has granted “national party” status to the National People’s Party (NPP) on Friday. Conrad Sangma-led NPP has fulfilled the required criteria to qualify as a “national party” after winning five seats in the recently held Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
Reacting to the development, Sangma tweeted, “The recognition of #NPP as National Party status will surely motivate each member of the family of NPP and will further enable us to work for the greater cause of the region and its people.”
