SHILLONG, May 2: The Executive Committee of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) has recommended Mathew Keneth Makdoh, a member of the Voice of the People Party (VPP) from Ri-Bhoi, for nomination as Member of the District Council (MDC).
Makdoh’s nomination was endorsed by the party’s central leadership led by Ardent M Basaiawmoit.
KHADC Chief Executive Member (CEM) Shemborlang Rynjah on Friday confirmed the recommendation and expressed hope that Governor CH Vijayashankar would approve Makdoh’s nomination.
