SHILLONG: Deputy Chief Minister and senior NPP leader, Prestone Tynsong is optimistic that the decision of both UDP and NPP to field candidates in the Ranikor bypoll will not have any political ramification in the NPP-led MDA government.
Informing that the former Congress leader, MM Danggo will be NPP’s candidate in the polls, Tynsong said there is no agreement in the MDA government that the coalition partners who are supporting the government cannot contest the elections.
He said it is the right of every political party to contest the elections to sustain their identity even as he added that it depends on the wisdom of the voters of Ranikor constituency to elect their MLA.
Asked about the claims of UDP and Congress that they are going to win the bypoll, he said that anybody can claim anything before the counting.
UDP chief Donkupar Roy had recently confirmed Pius Marwein as the party candidate for the Ranikor by-poll.
Marwein was runner-up in both the 2013 and 2018 Assembly polls from Ranikor with Danggo winning each time.
The UDP chief believes that the party will surely win the upcoming Ranikor by-poll since the party candidate (Marwein) had lost the election in February by a slender margin.
