According to party sources, the meeting discussed what caused the defeat of their candidates which included NPP’s sitting Member of Parliament (MP) from Tura Agatha Sangma.
The NPP leadership also emphasised on the need to strengthen the party units in every constituency, so that they can be means of communication between the government and the citizens.
The party is also scouting for a strong candidate for the Gambegre bypoll, which was vacant after sitting Congress MLA Saleng Sangma recently quit since being elected to the Lok Sabha.
