SHILLONG: The People’s Democratic Front (PDF) is yet to name its common candidate before the MDA government for the Lok Sabha elections in 2019.
Talking to media persons here on Thursday, PDF leader and MLA Hamlet Dohling said the party so far has not finalised its nomination for common candidate and the matter is being discussed.
He also said two to three individuals have approached the party for contesting the Lok Sabha elections even as he denied the speculations that the chairman of the party is keen to contest the election.
When asked if the party will support the common candidate elected by the alliance, he said that the party will discuss the matter at a later stage.
UDP has projected Jemino Mawthoh as the common candidate and its ally HSPDP has projected Renikton Lyngdoh Tongkhar. KHNAM too has decided to field THS Bonney, a retired IFS officer.
BJP has decided to go all alone in the Lok Sabha polls while NPP and PDF are yet to decide.
