Shillong, Sep 26: Election of the new chief executive member (CEM) of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) will be held on September 30.
This was informed by the Secretary to the KHADC on Friday.
The election is necessitated following the collapse of the seven months old executive committee due to the sudden stepping down of the VPP MDC from Langkyrdem-Laitkroh Shemborlang Rynjah as the chief executive member.
Nongthymmai MDC Winston Tony Lyngdoh is all set to be elected unopposed as the new CEM of KHADC.
He was nominated as CEM designate during a meeting chaired by the VPP chief Ardent Basaiawmoit and attended by all party MDCs.
The party has also announced that Jaiaw MDC Denzil Raynard Chen will be inducted as the new Executive Member.
In his letter to the KHADC chairman Strong Pillar Kharjana, Rynjah had cited health reasons behind his decision to step down as CEM.
