The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) through a press release while accepting the mandate of the people congratulated S Supongmeren Jamir for his victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
Acknowledging that the people of Nagaland have ensured that democracy has once again emerged victorious, it regretted that this time the electoral battle was not just political but also involved “huge social and religious aspects which went against the fabrics of secularism.”
The NDPP also congratulated and applauded Dr Chumben Murry for having bravely fought the elections despite the numerous challenges throughout. The party also congratulated all party men and women who had selflessly worked from day one for the party and the candidate.
The party also acknowledged the Chief Minister and the members of the NDPP Parliamentary Board and congratulated them for having led the battle despite challenges faced in every assembly constituency.
The NDPP further expressed their gratitude to all their alliance partners and independents for the help and assistance. The NDPP also extended their gratitude to the BJP National President, JP Nadda for having come to Nagaland to campaign for the consensus candidate.
Acknowledging the setback, the NDPP called upon the people to come forward and participate in the Urban Local Body election which is being held after 20 years.
The NDPP congratulated the Election Commission of India (ECI), the State Election Department, all agencies of the Government and law enforcing agencies for carrying out peaceful and successful elections despite facing monumental challenges including the boycott call in large parts of the State.
