IMPHAL | Sept 23

Manipur People’s Party, interim president, O. Jugindro was terminated from the post of interim president today after the party’s state returning officer, Somorendro Khwairakpam passed the disqualification order.

Speaking to the media today at Manipur Press Club, Imphal Somorendro said that the selection of interim president for the party during the central committee meeting held on May 16 has been found unconstitutional as there is no provision in the constitution of the party for either selecting or electing an ‘interim president’.

He said on the other hand ‘working president’ can be selected more than one if situation demands according to the constitution of the party. Consequently on the same day (May 16) the central committee had selected two working president, he added. 

The unconstitutionally selected interim president had misled MPP’s office bearers and also tried to misuse the autonomous office of the party’s returning officer, added Somorendro.

Moreover he has submitted fake certificates of election to the Election Commission of India and has misused the party’s fund, added the returning officer.

For the welfare and to save the party from further damage made by Jugindro, he has decided to terminate him from the post, continued Somorendro.

The returning officer has filed an FIR to the City police station stating that the terminated interim president allegedly forged certificate as elected interim president and submitted it the Election Commission of India.
