Shillong, Jan 22 : The Mawlai Town Dorbar (MTD) and the candidates for the MDC elections from the Mawlai Constituency have decided to utilise only Common Platforms instead of public meetings, for their election campaigns in all areas under the Mawlai Constituency.
This initiative by the MTD aims to ensure a distraction-free election for student voters, as the election period coincides with Board and University examinations.
This decision was taken during a meeting between the MTD and the candidates who have announced their intent to contest the elections. The meeting, held on Tuesday, was convened to streamline the campaigning process and address community concerns.
Speaking to our reporter, MTD Secretary Marco Mitri said that the Common Platforms will be established in every area of Mawlai. He explained that this decision also means that candidates and political parties will no longer organise individual public meetings as seen in past elections.
“The MTD and the candidates believe that we will avoid creating a spectacle in the upcoming election,” said Mitri.
The decision was made with the students in mind, as many are preparing for various examinations. “We do not want to disturb their studies during this critical period,” Mitri added.
Strict guidelines have been put in place for these Common Platforms. Flags representing political parties will not be allowed in the Common Platform except for the Candidate, clarified Mitri.
The meetings on these Common Platforms will be organised and conducted by the respective Headmen and Secretaries, while only the candidates will be allowed to speak.
