"We are hopeful that our party will win at least 15 seats in Khasi and Jaintia Hills region. We are expecting it will be around 31-32 seats in the state. We are preparing for the celebrations," he added.
NPP workers also expressed confidence of victory. Meghalaya saw voting for assmebly polls on February 27.
