Sagolband AC JD (U) can didate Dr Kh Loken has stated that although he had lost the elections, he will continue to work for Sagolband denizens, while upholding the trust they have placed on him.
While expressing his appreciation towards the people who voted for him during a press meet held at his residence on Friday, Dr Loken remarked that he does not doubt the EVMs just because he lost the elections, although there were some strange incidents.
He explained that when the votes were being counted on Thursday, the figure of the total votes polled provided by the RO of two polling stations did not match with the votes recorded in the EVMs.
Keeping aside whether the EVMs could be trusted or not, more bizarre activates were observed during the counting process.
Dr Loken continued that no one believes the results of Sagolband AC wherein one could win against another with a high margin.
"This is not about losing the election but rather what a common person, not a denizen of Sagolband, estimates that evert if someone wins, the margin of votes would be small: However, the votes that were counted on Thursday have only made tlje people suspicious," he contended.
Meanwhile, Dr Loken said that he will respect the people's mandate and extended his congratulations to the winner, while stating that he will assist in the development of the constituency.
