R.M. Chougule has been announced as the official MES candidate for the Belagavi Rural Constituency for the upcoming assembly elections. The announcement was made by Adv. M.G. Patil, the General Secretary of MES, on Wednesday afternoon.
The selection process for candidates for various constituencies has already begun, and the Belagavi Taluka Committee conducted interviews with interested candidates last Sunday. On Wednesday, a meeting of 129 selection committee members was held at Maratha Mandir to finalize the candidates.
After a democratic selection process, R.M. Chaugule was unanimously chosen as the official candidate. The committee received five applications, and interviews were conducted with all aspirants with due permission.
The selection committee ensured that the candidate was chosen in a transparent and democratic way. The committee’s goal was to select the best candidate who could represent the people of Belagavi Rural and work towards their betterment.
The candidate when filing his nomination papers will be filed as an Independent only as MES is not recognized as a regional party.
