JDU to contest all 60 seats in Assembly polls

WILLIAMNAGAR, Oct 25: With political parties already laying the groundwork for Assembly elections, the Meghalaya Janata Dal (United) JD(U) has announced that it will field candidates in all the 60 seats next year.
Informing this, Meghalaya JD(U) general secretary Joshua Ch Marak said that selection of candidates for the Assembly elections is in full swing.
“Candidates from nook and corner have been approaching for the tickets during the previous months but it is not the right way handing over the tickets in a random manner. However, we are reviewing the interest and the high demand from the public as well. We shall proceed with our candidate selection in a democratic manner since it will be improper if the leaders of Meghalaya JD(U) alone select the candidates,” Marak said.
It may be mentioned that the Bharaitya Janata Party (BJP) had also announced that it will contest all 60 seats in the upcoming Assembly elections.
