Imphal, January 13, 2011:
Although the election result of the 18 seats of Thoubal Municipal Council was declared on January 7, councilors of the council are facing a problem in choosing Chairperson.
It may be mentioned that out of the 18 seats, Congress won nine seats and Independent won nine seats.
Due to the same number of councilors in both sides, they could not form the ruling party.
Meanwhile, MPCC President, Gaikhangam has allowed two independent candidates to merge in the Congress party.
With the merger of two independent candidates, Congress has the privilege to form the ruling party.
But they were unable to choose Leader and Deputy Leader of the council.
