The five UDP MDCs are Teinwell Dkhar, Donkupar Sumer, Equator Nongrang, Neil Antonio War and Rona Khymdeit. “If we get positive response from other MDCs, we will definitely ask for a special session,” Dkhar said, adding that atleast 20 members have to come together to demand for a special session.
Meanwhile, an NPP leader confirmed on Tuesday that the party has also signed the letter.
The KHADC has 29 members of whom 28 are from the PDA. Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) MDC Adelbert Nongrum is the lone fence sitter.
