Pyniaid Sing Syiem is the sitting MDC from the Mawryngkneng Constituency and Lamphrang Blah is the four time MDC from the Mawphlang Constituency.

Pyniaid was also accompanied by UDP members from Mawryngkneng Constituency.

Syiem said as an MDC he has been working hand in hand with the people of Mawryngkneng. Basic necessities are his first and primary objectives, if elected, but at his MDC level he has brought in many developmental projects in the constituency and if the people give him the chance as their MLA, he promised to finish the pending works done by the previous MLA. He also said, if elected, he’ll bring out an employment policy and take it to the MDA government as well as policy to tackle substance abuse as it has been a menace in his constituency and the state as a whole.

Blah, the 4 time MDC from Mawphlang, said he is confident of the win because the people of Mawphlang have full faith on him.
