 NONGPOH: Dissolution of the Umsning United Democratic Party (UDP) Block Committee was the ultimate price the state party leadership has to pay after they declared former Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) executive member, Field Marshall Mawphniang as the party candidate for the newly- created Umsning Constituency to contest the forthcoming assembly election 2013.

Sources in the state party leadership said that it was one of the hardest decisions that they had to take while deciding the party candidate as they had to make a choice between four heavyweights namely-Mawphniang, former KSU North Khasi Hills District President Donkupar Sumer, advocate and UDP leader Lurshai Wahlang and former school headmistress Jennifer Joan Kylla.

The decision for dissolving the Block Committee was taken in a general body of the Umsning Block Committee held at Umsning on Saturday which was attended by Mawphniang, Sumer, Wahlang and Kylla and about a hundred workers of the party.

Spitting venom against Mawphniang before his arrival at the venue of the meeting, the three aspirants said, “Mawphniang is not a resident of any village under Umsning Constituency and he does not know the problems of the electorate of the constituency therefore. He does not deserve to get the party.
