BYE-ELECTION
Indrajit Tingwa
The 45-Hayuliang (ST) Assembly Constituency had fallen vacant after its long time legislator and former Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Kalikho Pul allegedly committed suicide on 9 August, 2016.
Consequent upon that the Election Commission of India notified for a bye-election to fill up the seat. The polling was held on 19 November while the counting and results were declared on 22 November. The third wife of Late Kalikho Pul was chosen by the family to stand for continuation of the late leader’s legacy. The North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) camp who are in power in the state thus made Dasanglu Pul their candidate. In Arunachal Pradesh the NEDA government comprises the People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA) and the BJP. Pul was given the BJP ticket, though in the NEDA dispensation PPA is the larger of the two parties constituting it.
