Imphal, February 06 2009:
With the candidate for the Inner seat finalised, the State unit of the BJP is set to announce the name of its candidate in the Outer LS seat once the ongoing National Council meeting of the party winds up.
Former Chief Minister W Nipamacha has already been named as the BJP's man in the Inner LS seat.
The National Executive meeting of the party was held at Nagpur today, said State unit general secretary S Tiken while talking to The Sangai Express and added that the National Council Meeting will start from tomorrow there itself.
Since the State unit president H Borbabu is busy attending the meetings, the candidate for the Outer seat will be decided once he returns to Imphal, said S Tiken.
Till date four/five persons have approached the BJP for a ticket to contest in the Outer seat, said S Tiken.
S Tiken further said that the MPP has responded positively to their overture to fight the election unitedly to defeat the Congress.
