Nagaland Assembly Elections 2023: NPF Focuses on Reforming Party Ahead of Elections

KOHIMA: Ahead of the Assembly elections 2023, the Naga People’s Front (NPF) in Nagaland is eyeing party reform at all levels.

NPF President and former Nagaland Chief Minister Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu began a district tour from Mokokchung to improve the party at all levels ahead of the assembly elections.
The former Nagaland chief minister was accompanied by central NPF leaders including Thenucho Tuni and Huska Somi, Achumbemo Kikon and Kuzholuzo Nienu.

The NPF won 25 seats in the 2018 Nagaland Assembly elections.
However, on April 29 this year, around 21 MLAs from the NPF merged with the ruling NDPP.

“When 21 MLAs defected, many people thought that the NPF party was over, but that is not the case,” said NPF President and former Nagaland Chief Minister Dr. Shurhozelie Liezietsu.

He added: “It is better to have a hundred enemies outside the house.”
