The figures for Meghalaya and Nagaland, where voting took place on February 27, was nearly 85% and 80% respectively. The results for the assembly elections in the three northeastern states would be available on the Election Commission of India website. In 2013, the CPI(M) had won 49 seats, Congress 10 and Communist Party of India in one. A lot will depend on how the NPP and Congress fare in Meghalaya,” NPF spokesperson Sebastian Zumvu said.
