SHILLONG: The Regional Democratic Alliance (RDA) which is a coalition of the United Democratic Party (UDP) and the Hill State People’s Democratic Party (HSPDP) has approved the name of Pius Marwein as the candidate for the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) by-election from Langrin seat.
The Langrin seat fell vacant following the demise of Nasar Marwein last year.
