A REPORTER

SHILLONG: Despite tasting defeat in the bye-polls Congress candidate from Mawphlang, Kennedy Khyriem, is hopeful that change will come in the general election 2023.

"We will work hard to invoke a change in the upcoming general election which is just one year and two months away in 2023," Khyriem told reporters here on Monday.

Accepting the defeat, he said since the bye-poll was soon after the death of sitting MLA SK Sunn, sympathy factor helped his son and UDP candidate Eugeneson Lyngdoh to win the election. "Moreover, we were fighting against the government . While the ruling party candidates won in the past elections, hardly did the Opposition win the bye-polls. Eugeneson was elected as he promised that he can do something being in the government," he said.
