Shillong, Dec 24: The ruling National People’s Party (NPP) has named six more candidates for the autonomous district council (ADC) elections scheduled for February 21 next year.
All the candidates in this second list of NPP are for constituencies under the Jaintia Hills Autonomous District Council (JHADC).
