SHILLONG, Aug 17: A day after the Meghalaya Congress suspended its two sitting MLAs – Charles Marngar representing Mawhati and Gabriel Wahlang representing Nongstoin – the party on Saturday appointed Eric Kharsyntiew as the ad hoc/temporary president of the Nongstoin Block Congress Committee (NBCC) in place of Wahlang.
The decision to appoint Kharsyntiew as the ad hoc president was taken during a special meeting of the West Khasi Hills District Congress Committee (WKHDCC).
The special meeting was convened to discuss strategies to further strengthen the party across the three blocks of Nongstoin, Mawshynrut, and Rambrai-Jyrngam following reports that Wahlang was planning to join the ruling NPP.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, WKHDCC president Bormanding Nonglang said the ad hoc president was appointed following directions from both the AICC and MPCC.
Additionally, the committee also welcomed former Rambrai-Jyrngam MDC, JTS Thongni after he expressed his desire to return to his former party.
At the same time, Forteenson Lyngkhoi was appointed as the new general secretary of the Nongstoin District Congress Committee and will also oversee the affairs of the party in Mawshynrut.
