ENPO has threatened to boycott the Nagaland assembly elections.

Nagaland assembly elections

These six districts account for 20 of the total 60 assembly seats in Nagaland assembly elections.

The ruling NDPP has 15 of the 20 seats, while its ally BJP has four and one MLA is independent.

ENPO Frontier is demanding the creation of Nagaland state to be freed from “decades of neglect”.

ENPO said the decision to boycott the elections was taken after a consultative meeting with elected leaders of ‘Eastern Nagaland’.

ENPO said the people of Eastern Nagaland will not participate in any election until their demand for a separate frontier Nagaland state is met.
