TURA: Nomination papers of all four candidates contesting the by-election to South Tura constituency were found to be in order during scrutiny on Tuesday.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma is pitted against three other candidates in the contest for the prestigious seat.

Scrutiny of the papers of the chief minister, former legislator John Leslee K Sangma, congress candidate Charlotte W Momin and Kris Kabul A Sangma were taken up at 11 AM sharp in the office of the Returning Officer, Sabrella B Marak, while supporters of the four candidates waited outside.

It took a little under half an hour for the scrutiny work to be completed.

All three candidates, barring the chief minister, were present during scrutiny of the papers. North Tura MLA Thomas A Sangma along with senior party functionaries of the NPP represented the chief minister during scrutiny.

Thursday is the last date for withdrawal from the polls though political pundits are skeptic of any candidate doing so.

With the scrutiny process over, the candidates are expected to go all out in the campaign trail.
