When asked about his political future, Lyngdoh maintained that his decision would be dictated by his constituents. “We depend entirely on people. You see, that will depend on my people because ultimately, the people will decide,” he stated. “Whatever they tell me, I will abide by their suggestions and advice. If my people say I can serve the constituency and the state better in another entity or another party, any decision I take will be after consulting them.”
With Congress struggling to reclaim its lost ground, Lyngdoh now stands as its sole representative in the state assembly—a stark reminder of the party’s diminishing influence. The KHADC elections dealt another blow, leaving Congress without a single seat and raising concerns about its future in the state’s political landscape.
Meanwhile, the ruling NPP is strategically working to consolidate its presence in the Khasi-Jaintia Hills. With a renewed focus post-Lok Sabha and KHADC elections, the party is expected to roll out key political strategies, induct new leaders, and intensify grassroots outreach in the coming days.
