A majority of NPP MLAs were present at the ceremony along with UDP political leaders. Chairs of the Opposition Congress party remained unoccupied apart from Congress MLA HM Shangpliang attending the ceremony. Family and friends of the new MLAs were also present to witness the ceremony.

Speaking with the media, MLA Pyniaid Syiem said he will serve the constituency and the state as a whole. He also mentioned how one and half years would be a challenge to complete the work but will still try to give it his best.

Similarly, UDP’s Eugeneson assured that he will fulfill the aspirations and dreams of his late father (SK Sunn). 

Rajabala MLA Abdus Saleh said the NPP has done so much for the state, that is why they have been elected. “I have seen a huge support for the NPP and in Rajabala Constituency, the NPP never won but this time the people have seen the development done by this government, so they voted for us,” said Saleh.
