The CCEM also reminded all voters that the core agenda of CEM is to choose the right candidates without any fear and coercion, thereby, vote in a free and fair manner.
“We must understand that money game play should not be the deciding factor at any cost. Therefore, let us vote-out money power and prayerfully elect right and capable leaders to rule our state,” Rev Rhakho stated.
Also CCEM fervently appealed all the Chakhesang leaders and citizens of Phek district to hold peaceful, free and fair election, and to check and refrain from any form of malpractices.
The CCEM team had visited the check gates in various villages and towns under Phek district on February 22. As a ‘spiritual exercise,’ the team stopped over in town junctions ‘claiming the territories to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.’
The team also participated in the Common Platform jointly organised by CCEM and Phek Area Baptist Church Council (PABCC) where Rev Vezopa Rhakho, chairman, CCEM addressed the gathering at Phek town.

The CMA volunteers have been checking all vehicles to prevent liquor and other illegal substances from entering the district.
