The NPF Tseminyu division adopted four resolutions reaffirming its stand on the Naga political issue, party discipline, leadership, and consensus-based election ticket allocation.
DIMAPUR — The Naga People's Front (NPF) Tseminyu division convened a party leaders’ meeting at the Tseminyu Town Hall on July 18, where leaders and workers unanimously adopted four resolutions, reaffirming the party’s commitment to the Naga political issue, party discipline, leadership, and internal consensus on election tickets.
According to a statement issued by the NPF Tseminyu division, the meeting brought together key party functionaries, leaders, and workers from across the state and district, underscoring the party’s commitment to regionalism, unity, and the developmental progress of Tseminyu district.
The house reiterated its demand for an early, honourable, acceptable, and inclusive solution to the long-pending Naga political issue.
It also unanimously endorsed the leadership of NPF president and Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and secretary general and Advisor Achumbemo Kikon, appreciating their efforts towards the overall development of Nagaland, particularly Tseminyu district.
The meeting further resolved that any party member violating or refusing to abide by the party constitution, especially in matters concerning elections and key party decisions, would be liable for disciplinary action.
It also resolved that no individual or party leader should offer or promise party tickets for the next Assembly election, stating that all ticket-related decisions would be made solely through consensus. Any unauthorised assurances, whether public or private, would invite strict disciplinary action.
In his introductory address, Benjamin Lorin, vice president and COB in-charge of the Tseminyu division, said the NPF remained firmly rooted in the principles of regionalism.
He stated that the party’s merger with the NDPP was undertaken in the larger interest of the people and should not be viewed as a political compromise. Highlighting Tseminyu’s developmental challenges, he called for unwavering loyalty to the party and stressed the need for inclusive governance, including greater representation of women at the grassroots level.
Former minister and core committee member R Khing said regional parties had consistently safeguarded the interests of the people.
Expressing confidence that leaders from RPP-affiliated parties would extend their support to the NPF, he urged the people of the Rengma region to remain united and committed in order to secure a decisive mandate for the party in the constituency.
Former candidate and central executive council (CEC) member Loguseng Semp thanked the RPP for its unconditional decision to join the NPF, saying the move reflected a willingness to place collective welfare above personal interests.
He called for accommodative efforts to strengthen party unity with the shared objective of forming an NPF government.
Chairman of the Nagaland Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC), Kvulo Lorin, highlighted Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio’s vision of bringing all contending parties together and urged party workers to move in line with that vision.
Speeches were also delivered by Hyusin Thyug, general secretary of the Farmers’ Wing; Khwenhile Kent, president of the Women Wing; Sokenye Kent, president of the Youth Wing; Ruth Thong, chairperson of the Tseminyu Town Council; and Ndotsu Kent, working president of the NPF Tseminyu division.
The resolutions committee, headed by convenor Shatilo Kent, presented the resolutions for adoption.
The programme was chaired by John Wanth, associate press secretary of the Central Press Bureau. Piekie Kath, general secretary and COB assistant in-charge of the Tseminyu division, delivered the welcome address, while Daniel Tep, working president of the NPF Tseminyu Division, proposed the vote of thanks.
