Political activities

After winning four seats at the 2023 Meghalaya Legislative Assembly election, Basaiawmoit voiced his intention for the Voice of the People Party (Meghalaya) to form the government in Meghalaya in 2028.[3]

On 20 March 2023, Basaiawmoit and fellow VPP MLAs protested the Governor of Meghalaya's speech, made in Hindi, during the first budget session of the Assembly, by storming out. He noted that as Meghalaya is non-Hindi speaking the "Centre has insulted Meghalaya by sending a governor who cannot speak in the state's official language".[4]
