Meghalaya elections are just around the corner and the candidate list is out for politicians contesting the polls. The last date for filing nominations was February 7 and this time, quite a few candidates have what we can term as uncommon and interesting names.
Novembirth Ch. Marak is the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Chokpot. Now, it seems quite evident the backstory behind his name; he was possibly born in November.
Then comes Fourteenson Lyngkhoi, the Indian National Congress from Mawthadraishan.
There are at least 20 such candidates with unique and unusual names that have caught the internet's attention.
There is a Nehru too, unsurprisingly from Congress, this year contesting from Pynursla.
There's a candidate called Wellborn and another called Firstborn just like coincidentally there are candidates called Moonlight and Sunshine this year.
