In the context of Dimapur, the forum stated that any capable and willing genuine indigenous citizen of Dimapur should also be allowed to contest.
The DDCF further urged all citizens of Dimapur to come forward and exercise their right to vote in the upcoming urban local bodies elections responsibly, choosing the best leaders for their respective wards.
It encouraged unity in rejecting any forms of biases or intimidations, and resisting the influence of muscle power and money, setting an example to uphold the true spirit of democracy through the clean election movement.
