Dimapur, March 14 (EMN): Chakhesang Clean Election Movement (CCEM) has expressed happiness to note that much of the electoral mal-practices were contained to great extent through its clean election movement despite certain aberrations from some individuals and parties.
CCEM wished that the much electoral challenges, experiences and insights gained during the last elections would continue to prepare the people towards attaining peaceful, sustainable and holistic development of the society in the days to come.
CCEM is a conglomeration of Chakhesang Public Organisation, Chakhesang Mothers’ Association, Chakhesang Students’ Union, Chakhesang Youth Front, Chakhesang GBs’ Association, and church organisations representing Assembly of God, Pentecostals, Christian Revivals and CBCC. The CCEM was officially launched during its meeting held at Pfutsero on March 16, 2017, with the sole objective of upholding and ensuring clean election guidelines initiated by NBCC for the 13th Nagaland Legislative Assembly.
Accordingly, CCEM came out with 18 specific election guidelines and began to engage itself in advocating, sensitising and conscientising all concerned on clean election through various platforms in all villages and towns within its jurisdiction. For proper co-ordinations and effective implementation of the clean election guidelines, series of leadership meeting were organised at various levels for core committees, political party workers, candidates and church workers. Common platforms were also organised for all the candidates in all the constituencies under Phek district.
CCEM has urged upon all to imbibe the values and the spirit of clean election movement in their everyday living and demonstrate the true Christian life and witness to the rest of the world.
