Addressing a press conference at Congress Bhavan in Kohima on Monday, AICC observer Pranav Shagotra alleged irregularities in the electoral process and called for free and fair elections.
NPCC president and Lok Sabha MP S. Supongmeren Jamir said Nagaland had 13,57,208 electors before the revision, while enumeration forms were collected from 11,99,456 electors. The Election Department had categorised the remaining 1,57,752 electors as absent, permanently shifted, deceased or duplicate entries.
Jamir said further verification was underway and appealed to eligible citizens to ensure that their names were included in the electoral rolls.
