Imphal, January 02 2012:
General secretary of All India Congress Committee's north east in-charge Luzinho Faleiro has arrived here today to short-list Congress nominees for the upcoming 10th Manipur Legislative Assembly election scheduled for January 28 .
Soon after arrival, Faleiro was involved in a meeting of the MPCC Ticket Committee at Congress Bhavan which duly approved allotment of party ticket for those constituencies from where only one individual had applied.
The meeting presided by MPCC president Gaikhangam also decided to finalise party candidates from those Assembly segments from where there have been multiple applications at another meeting later this evening at the Chief Minister's official bungalow.
It is informed that after shortlisting the candidates, Gaikhangam, Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh and Faleiro would leave for New Delhi in a day or two where approval of the AICC high command would be solicited for the final declaration of Congress party candidates.
The final list is likely to be released on
January 5 or 6 .
