Conrad Sangma’s announcement of Kennedy C Khyriem’s name as the candidate of the party comes after an understanding with the MDC, Lamphrang Blah who agreed to allow Kennedy C Khyriem contest the upcoming Assembly Election in 2023 from Mawphlang, and from the side of the National President of the party,he praised the sacrifice of the MDC who had unsuccessfully contested the bye-election from Mawphlang on an NPP ticket.

Speaking at the meeting, Sangma said the leaders who were not on speaking terms and who contested against each other in the past are now seated alongside on the same platform, and this has been possible because the NPP has leaders like Prestone Tynsong who can lead the supporters of Kennedy C Khyriem and Lamphrang Blah to an understanding.

Speaking on this day, Kennedy C Khyriem said the decision to join the NPP comes after he had consulted with his supporters and friends in which the majority expressed that he should join the NPP.
