In a press statement, the NPP emphasized that their convoy, including Sangma’s vehicle, underwent standard security checks as per election code of conduct protocols.
These checks, conducted at the Kanubari check gate by the FST, SST, and police, revealed no irregularities.
The security procedures covered the vehicles of the National President, National General Secretary, and the accompanying team.
The party asserts that it remained unaware of the incident until it surfaced in the media.
The NPP has labeled attempts to link the incident with their National President as baseless and without merit, emphasizing their commitment to the electoral process and adherence to legal protocols.
