KOHIMA, May 28 (MExN): Following the resignation of Khriehu Liezietsu as MLA of 10th Northern Angami -1, the Naga People’s Front (NPF) today made an appeal urging that Chief Minister Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu be elected “uncontested” in the coming by-election.
A statement from the Party Spokesperson Achumbemo Kikon in this regard appealed to all individuals and the various Political Parties to extend their co-operation for smooth conduct of the by-election as and when it is conducted. The party also urged the Election Commission of India to schedule the by-election at the earliest.
While welcoming the decision of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) legislators to make Dr. Liezietsu a Member of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, the Front also expressed its “highest gratitude” to Khriehu Liezietsu, Ex-MLA, for sacrificing his Assembly seat in order to pave way for the CM to become a legitimate Member of the 12th Nagaland Legislative Assembly.
Further, the Party extended appreciations to the NPF-led-DAN Govt. for reiterating the official stand of the present government that, “in the event of an honourable and amicable solution is arrived at out of the ongoing peace process vis-à-vis political talks, the present government will pave way for a smooth transition for the new dispensation to take over.”
