BJP बायपॉल उम्मीदवार घोषणा का समय तय — जानें तारीख और प्रभाव
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said it will soon name its candidate for the Shillong Lok Sabha by-election but is holding off until the Election Commission announces the official bypoll schedule and the Special Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls is completed, State BJP General Secretary Wankitbok Pohshna said. The party is closely watching the Commission’s timeline before making a formal declaration.
Pohshna said several names are under consideration and that the party has short-listed around nine potential nominees. He added that the final selection will be taken up by the BJP’s central parliamentary board, with the central leadership having the ultimate authority on the choice. “Selection of the candidate is an internal party matter; once the process is complete and the central leadership decides, we will announce the name,” Pohshna said.
The party confirmed it is monitoring the SIR process because the electoral roll revision will affect the bypoll schedule. “We are keeping an eye on the Special Revision of the electoral rolls; once the SIR is matched and finalised, the Election Commission will move forward with the by-election,” Pohshna was quoted as saying.
The report also noted that VPP MP Dr Ricky AJ Syngkon has indicated an interest in contesting the by-election. The BJP said it will coordinate with its state and national units and only make a formal announcement after the Election Commission publishes the bypoll dates, after which the party’s candidate selection and campaign preparations will proceed.
