The CTC Chairperson said that the majority of the NPF councilors of Chumukedima Town Council did not attend the meeting of the ‘twelve’ GBs, which is said to be attended by the Head GB, Kelenguzo Kuotsu.

The release therefore asked that if such vast number of essential and developmental works are ‘his’ bonus within a span if only five years, more and better developmental works will be carried out and implemented under ‘his’ initiative and guidance in the next term.
“Therefore , we the NPF councilors of the Chumukedima Town Council hereby declare and committe that we shall work and support whole heartedly and unitedly the candidature of Shri H Khekiho Zhimomi, our official NPF candidate under 4th Ghaspani-I A/C in the forthcoming Assembly Election, in the interest and welfare of the public of Chumukedima in general,” the Kuotsu said.
