Shillong, Jan 31: Independent candidate from Nongthymmai constituency Erson Marwein on Friday announced his decision to withdraw his candidature for the upcoming elections to the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC).

Speaking to media persons, Marwein said his decision was based on his supporters’ suggestion on the need to extend full support to the KHADC chief and sitting National People’s Party (NPP) MDC from Sohryngkham Pyniaid Sing Syiem, who has decided to contest from Nongthymmai constituency.

“Accordingly, I had convened a meeting on January 29 and it was unanimously decided that I, along with my supporters, will be supporting Pyniaid Sing Syiem in the upcoming ADC elections,” he said.

Asked, Marwein said he is an example that  it is important to pave the way for people, who can really serve the people and the constituency.

According to him, Syiem has contributed a lot to the welfare of the indigenous people through the KHADC. Marwein however made it clear that he has no intention to join the NPP.
