Tarun Pandey, a candidate for Congress, received only 4,496 votes, which kept him in third place.
For the Sohiang Assembly seat in Meghalaya, Sinar Kupar Rai Lyngdo Thaba of the United Democratic Party (UDP) defeated the NPP candidate by a margin of more than 3,400 votes. Ling Thaba received 16,679 votes in total. Due to the passing of UDP candidate HIR Lingto before the assembly elections set for February 27, voting was delayed to May 10.
