Imphal, April 15 2021:
Former Minister Yumkham Erabot has welcomed the High Court of Manipur's verdict which declared the election of Congress candidate Okram Henry from Wangkhei AC in the 11th Manipur Legislative Assembly election as null and void.
The High Court's verdict further directed the authority concerned to accept Yumkham Erabot as the MLA of Wangkhei AC.
Soon after receiving the High Court order, Erabot went to the residence of Speaker Y Khemchand at Singjamei Yumnam Leikai today.
However, what transpired at the meeting between the two could not be ascertained.
Later, speaking to a section of media persons, Erabot said that the case was going on for over four years.
The order passed by the High Court would be sent to the Election Commission of India and the ECI would send an order to the office of the Speaker.
"Once the Speaker's office receives an order from the ECI, I would be sworn in as an MLA.
The whole process may take two/three days," he said.
Erabot said that he would spare no efforts to expose, with relevant documents, the Imphal Airport drug seizure case which dates back to 2013 .
