Shillong: Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong confirmed on Friday that the deferred Garo Hills Autonomous District Council elections remain stuck in limbo. The timeline for the polls depends entirely on the status of the delimitation process.
The report is finished. Now, it faces a rigorous review process. The Executive Committee of the GHADC will examine the findings first. Following that review, they will push the document to the council House for a final vote. The chamber must approve the plan before it moves forward.
The state government takes over once the council clears the hurdle. Officials will then send the package to the Governor for a final stamp of approval. "Once that is in place, then the election date will be finalised," Tynsong said.
This vetting chain dictates the future of the district council. The finalized report determines the exact boundaries of the constituencies. Voters must wait until these administrative steps conclude before heading to the polls.
