TURA, Dec 16 - GHADC MDC from Darugre, Mettrinson G Momin has quit the National People�s Party (NPP) to contest as an independent from Rongjeng in the upcoming Assembly elections in 2018.
The move comes after unhappiness over the selection of the party�s candidate, in which Momin was a contender for the ticket but was denied, sources said. NPP ticket has been given reportedly to Jim Sangma. However, there is no official confirmation from NPP.
�I have decided to contest as an Independent candidate from Rongjeng after a chat with NPP president, Conrad K Sangma, Tura MP�, said Momin when contacted over phone.
�The decision to fight as an independent candidate was taken after consulting my supporters,� added Momin.
