The party observed that the merger marks a new phase in Nagaland’s political landscape — one that reflects a consolidated, opposition-less government.

“Such a situation, it noted, carries both great opportunity and immense responsibility. The NPP Nagaland hopes that this unity in governance will translate into political stability, purposeful administration, and the fulfilment of promises made to the people,” the NPP Nagaland stated.

“While alliances and mergers remain a natural part of democratic evolution, the NPP reaffirms its belief that true political strength stems not merely from numbers, but from integrity, vision, and the enduring trust of the people.”
