Grace Kharpuri moved Court over election in KHADC
People’s Democratic Alliance (PDA) candidate for the post of Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Grace Kharpuri filed a case in the High Court of Meghalaya alleging that the election to the CEM post in the KHADC was not conducted as per the rules of the council. Grace Mary Kharpuri said that many of the members did not even receive the notice at the appropriate time. Alleging that there was violation of rules, Kharpuri said that the Election for the Chairman should have been considered as the first priority as to follow the formal procedure of the District Council for any proceeding of the house.
Kharpuri did not show up for the election which easily paved way for Nongkrem MDC H.S Shylla to be elected for the second time as the CEM of the KHADC. Meanwhile the High Court had given one time week to the State Government to response against the petition filed by Grace Kharpuri.
