 SHILLONG: The founder member of Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM), Glenbert Khongwir rejoined the regional party on Monday along with a group of supporters.

Khongwir said that he had supported Congress member Roshan Warjri in 2013 but decided to come back to KHNAM after he found that she had not performed according to the assurances given to the people by her.

Speaking to reporters, he said that KHNAM was a movement and not just a political party.
