SHILLONG: With the 2019 KHADCelections round the corner, Goldy Warjri is set to throw his hat in the ring as an Independent candidate from Jaiaw constituency.
Warjri had supported Adelbert Nongrum, who was then an MDC, during his indefinite hunger strike in 2015 at the memorial site of Kiang Nongbah demanding the state government’s approval to the KHAD (Village Administration Bill), 2014.
Announcing his entry into politics, he said Jaiaw constituency still lacks in basic amenities such as sufficient number of street lights.
He will be facing Auguster Jyrwa, former Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) general secretary who is likely to contest on a Congress ticket.
