Shillong: National People’s Party (NPP) leader and cabinet minister Comingone Ymbon ‘predicted’ that the Voice of the People Party (VPP) will not win any seats in the upcoming district council elections in Meghalaya.

Elections to the Khasi Hill Autonomous District Council (KHADC) and Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC) are due very soon and preparations have begun across the state.

Ymbon claimed that he can see VPP with zero seats as now people do not accept them in the Khasi and Jaintia Hills region.
