ITANAGAR, Mar 13: Ahead of the forthcoming state assembly elections, which is slated to coincide with the Lok Sabha polls this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced its list of 60 candidates on Wednesday.
Among the 60 candidates, the party has chosen to maintain the majority of its incumbent MLAs, such as Tsering Lhamu, Phurpa Tsering, Kumsi Sidisow, Dongru Siongju, Biyuram Wahge, Techi Kaso, Tana Hali Tara, Taba Tedir, Balo Raja, Jikke Tako, Nakap Nalo, Nyato Rigia, Taniya Soki, Rode Bui, Nyamar Karbak, Kardo Nyigyor, Kento Jini, Talem Taboh, Pasang Dorjee Sona, Alo Libang, Ojing Tasing, Ninong Ering, Kaling Moyong, Lombo Tayeng, Mopi Mihu, Mutchu Mithi, Dasanglu Pul, Chowna Mein, Chau Zingnu Namchoom, Somlung Mossang, Kamlung Mosang, Tesam Pongte, Wangki Lowang, Chakat Aboh, Wanglin Lowangdong, Gabriel Denwang Wangsu, Tanpho Wangnaw, and Honchun Ngandam.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu has secured his candidacy, though his brother Tsering Tashi from Tawang AC has been omitted from the list.
Notably, the BJP has decided to exclude three incumbent Ministers, namely Tage Taki (Minister of Agriculture & Allied), Bamang Felix (Home Minister), and Tumke Bagra (Minister for Industries & Handlooms).
In a surprising move, the party has granted tickets to newly joined Congress MLAs Ninong Ering, Mutchu Mithi, Lombo Tayeng, and Wanglin Lowangdong. Additionally, alongside the existing Congress MLAs, independent MLAs Somlung Mossang and Chakhat Aboh have also been awarded tickets.
The announcement of the candidate list followed a meeting of the party's Central Election Committee (CEC), presided over by party president JP Nadda, on Monday.
