During a campaign event on April 6, 2026, in Boko-Chaygaon, Assam, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma reiterated his commitment to the 'One Northeast' mission, which seeks to establish a common political platform for indigenous communities across the northeastern region of India. The National People’s Party (NPP), which Sangma represents, aims to expand its influence in the region by ensuring that indigenous voices are adequately represented in political discussions. The 'One Northeast' initiative was launched in November 2025, with Sangma as one of its architects alongside other influential leaders from the region. He noted that the NPP's strategy included fielding candidates based on demographic and political assessments, particularly in constituencies like Boko-Chaygaon, which borders Meghalaya. Sangma called for regional unity to effectively address shared challenges. The NPP is contesting three seats in the upcoming elections, although one candidate recently withdrew to join the Congress party.
