Dimapur, Nov. 30 (EMN): Naga People’s Front (NPF) of 8th Western Angami AC, in a consultative meeting held on Wednesday at the party’s central office, resolved to elect a regional candidate in the next election as the constituency being the stronghold of the regional party.
Media Cell of NPF 8th Western Angami AC, in an update, informed that the meeting also reaffirmed to uphold the party principles and support the leadership of its party president, Dr. Shürhozelie Liezietsu, and Legislature leader, Kuzholuzo Nienu.
While expressing strong reservation over the defection of 8th Western Angami AC MLA, Keneizhakho Nakhro, who was “trusted and elected from the party ticket,” the meeting asserted that the NPF office bearers of the constituency seat are united and intact.
