 SHILLONG: While the UDP is awaiting Nongkrem legislator Ardent M Basaiawmoit to reply to the notice to make clear his stand on whether he would contest from the party in the Assembly election early next year, speculations are rife about Basaiawmoit’s future course of action.

According to sources, the UDP MLA is considering other options including joining the HSPDP.

He even did not attend UDP’s State Election Committee (SEC) meeting held on Tuesday.

Sources revealed that a meeting was held at Nongkrem UDP legislator’s residence on Monday evening where the issue of him joining the HSPDP was discussed.

The outcome of the meeting could not be confirmed. While briefing the media persons after the UDP’s SEC meeting on Tuesday, the party working president Paul Lyngdoh said the party is expecting a reply from Basaiawmoit within a week’s time. On May 17 last, party general secretary BG Momin had issued the notice asking Basaiawmoit to clarify his stand on UDP ticket within a month. “The reply of Basaiawmoit is still awaited. On expiry of the deadline, the party would take a final call on the matter,” Lyngdoh added.
