The pledge was taken today at the inauguration of its treasurer residence and the oath taking ceremony of the office bearers of the 28 Koridang Assembly Constituency at Yimyu Ward at Mokokchung.
NPF working president central and political advisor to chief minister, Apong Pongener, was the chief guest and was attended by a host of top NPF party functionaries from NPF Mokokchung division and NPF central.Speaking at the programme, Apong Pongen challenged the NPF party workers to serve the party selflessly with all honesty. Asserting that the NPF is the oldest regional party in the northeast region, he said the party might have changed the nomenclature through the years but the object and principles have never been diverted.
“I have been serving the party for the past 44 years and what I am today is because of the sacrifices I offered to the party,” the veteran NPF leader said. While highlighting on the ‘crisis’ that arose within the NPF party, Apong Pongener however asserted that ‘we (NPF) have prevailed because we stood strongly by the party constitution and true to our principles.’
He said Koridang has always been a regional constituency and added without doubt that the constituency will be a bastion of the Naga regional party. To be more precise, he said regionalism in Nagaland was born in Koridang area.

In this regard, he challenged the party workers to work selflessly so as to contribute to the whole Naga society politically.
