After 20 years NPF Shurhozelie Liezietsu steps down as President
Kohima: Former Nagaland Chief Minister Shurhozelie Liezietsu has resigned as the president of Naga People’s Front (NPF).
Liezietsu stepped down as President of the NPF after nearly twenty (20) years in the position.
Shurhozelie Liezietsu formally announced his decision to step down as NPF president during the party’s general convention and foundation day celebrations in Kohima on Saturday (October 21).
According to reports, NPF working president Apong Pongener is likely to take over as the next chief of the party.
Liezietsu announced his resignation as NPF president after the party’s general secretary Achumbemo Kikon reported that the former Nagaland chief minister had decided to retire from active politics.
“This is an emotional moment as our beloved President Dr. Liezietsu will be retiring from active politics and the party as well,” Kikon said.
Liezietsu has been involved in Nagaland politics since 1969.
It should be noted that Shurhozelie Liezietsu has also served as the Chief Minister of Nagaland for a few months in 2017.
