New Delhi: Congress has named Ripun Bora as the party candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha poll slated for March 31.
Bora, the incumbent, will be the candidate for the second seat who is expecting support from Congress, AIUDF, CPI and others.
The ruling party has already named Pabitra Margherita as the candidate for the first seat and skipped the name for the second seat since it lacks numbers.
Earlier BJP leaders claimed to have been preparing to name candidates for both seats. Congress also had a few rounds of hectic confabulation with AIUDF leadership.
The terms of Ripun Bora and Renee Narah will expire on April 2.
