Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaAugust 6, 2024

The United Democratic Party (UDP) will soon take a call on whether to contest the upcoming Gambegre bye-election.

Speaking to reporters after the CEC meeting on Tuesday, UDP chief Metbah Lyngdoh said that the party has discussed the issue related to the Gambegre bye-election, which is necessitated following the resignation of Congress’ Saleng A Sangma after getting elected as new Tura MP.

“We have accordingly decided to leave the matter to the wisdom of the leaders in the Garo Hills region. They have sought time before taking the best decision on the issue,” Lyngdoh said.

Asked, the UDP president said let’s not put the cart before the horse. “We will wait for the recommendation of the leaders from Garo Hills before taking a final call on the matter,” he added.
