WOKHA — The oath-taking ceremony of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) 40-Bhandari AC, Wokha district, was administered by Meribemo Kinghen, president of NPF Wokha division, on Tuesday.
Speaking at the event, Kinghen conveyed a congratulatory message to all party workers of 40-Bhandari AC on behalf of Achumbemo Kikon, MLA of 40 AC and secretary general of NPF, who was unable to attend due to prior engagements.
Briefing the party workers, Kinghen said that NPF, being the second oldest regional political party and the first from the Northeast, is a highly regarded organisation. He called upon the members to uphold the dignity of their responsibilities as AC workers and urged them to function with respect, dedication, and commitment towards the progress of the party and the people.
Referring to the merger between NDPP and NPF, Kinghen maintained that 40 AC continues to retain its earlier structure with its own elected legislator holding the post of secretary general of the party — a position he described as highly respectable and demanding greater dedication and support from party workers.
He appealed to the members to continue supporting their leaders and prayed for good health and wisdom to guide the people of Bhandari and the Nagas in general. He further informed that the new structure has given the party workers a five-year term (2025–2030) to remain in office, and urged them to work at the grassroots level and initiate enrolment drives.
He also advised the members to consult the concerned MLA in appointing village-level party workers with an accommodative spirit, without differentiating between old and new members.
Congratulating the new team, Kinghen wished prosperity and unwavering support to the MLA Achumbemo Kikon and the visionary leadership of Chief Minister and NPF party president Neiphiu Rio.
Earlier, the welcome address was delivered by Pyingthungo Ezung, vice president of NPF Wokha division, while a prayer of blessing for the new team was offered by Wilson Ezung, associate pastor of 7th NAP Baptist Church, Bhandari Town. A short speech was also delivered by Nyamo Odyuo, newly appointed president of Bhandari division.
The programme was chaired by Rhonathung Kikon, treasurer of NPF Wokha division, and concluded with a vote of thanks by Amos Odyuo, president of the youth wing, NPF Wokha division.
