Amidst stiff opposition to the Urban Local Body (ULB) Polls in Eastern Nagaland, the National People’s Party (NPP) has started its campaign for its candidates. There are 11 candidates from NPP contesting in the civic elections to be held on June 26.
NPP started its campaign from Ward number 13 at Lower Chandmari for its candidate Thejanuo Whuorie.
Thejanuo Whuorie said that she would be working for women empowerment primarily focusing on widows and single mothers. She also assured to provide free training to the youth in the electrical field and will work towards helping them become self-employed. She assured all round development in the Ward if she is elected.
Meanwhile, as many as 21 candidates who had filed their nominations under the Aboi, Naginimora and Tizit Town Councils have withdrawn their candidatures. This is indeed a significant development, as the Konyak Union had summoned the candidates to appear before it and justify their decision to contest the polls.

The candidates who have withdrawn their candidatures under the Naginimora Town Council include- Yingagng Konyak, L Methlow Konyak (filed candidature in 2 seats), Y Shongyo Konyak, M Chingtick Konyak, Angukali, M Anglem Konyak and M Wangkai Konyak.
