The KNA president added that allotment of party tickets to other candidates deemed qualified will be based on an agreement for working in the interest of tribal people when elected.

Haokip added that if the party manages to win at least 5 to 6 seats it will form a coalition government with like-minded parties to work for the welfare of the tribal people.
