As in the past, interesting names of candidates are catching the eyes of voters in this election.
For a candidate in Mawphlang constituency, February 27 may be an auspicious day for him.
PDF candidate from Mawphlang constituency, Auspicious Lyngdoh Mawphlang is hoping that the Assembly elections tomorrow will turn out to be just like his name.
While nobody can really predict the poll results, Forcaster Nongrang is contesting as an Independent from Jirang constituency.
The poll arena also has a galaxy of contenders. They include Moonlight Pariat of UDP from Jowai, Sunmoon Marak of RPI-A from Jirang, Sunshine Makri of UDP from Umsning, Bright Star Marbaniang of VPP from Mawlai, Gilbert Guidingstar Laloo of Trinamool Congress from Mylliem, and Pole Star Nongsiej of UDP from Nongstoin.
Although election is an uphill task, it might not be so for Himalaya M. Shangpliang of BJP from Mawsynram or his party colleague Highlander Kharmalki from Mawryngkneng.
As they say, politics is a game of numbers. The BJP contender from Amlarem constituency is Firstborn Manner whereas Coming One Ymbon is trying his luck once again on NPP ticket from Raliang. On the other hand, the Congress candidate from Mawthadraishan is Fourteenson Lyngkhoi.
While cash, booze and freebies have become part and parcel in Meghalaya elections, an independent candidate from Nartiang constituency, Generous Paslein is putting up a good fight against cash rich Sniawbhalang Dhar of NPP.
Sound mind and wise counsel are important in garnering votes. That is why Mawkyrwat has Sounder Cajee of the Trinamool Congress and Mawkynrew has Counselor Mukhim of BJP. Nonetheless, every candidate is sure of victory. That’s why there is Winnerson D. Sangma of Trinamool Congress from Salmanpara.
This election also has quite a number of notable names such as Nehru Suting of Congress from Pynursla, Alexander L. Hek of BJP from Pynthorumkhrah, Champion Sangma of Congress from Songsak, Lazarus M. Sangma of Trinamool Congress from Chokpot, Ian Botham Sangma of NPP from Salmanpara, Agassi R.
