The National People’s Party (NPP) has fielded Sonuo Yanger, a woman candidate, for Ward 18 (Merhülietsa and Lower Agri Colony) in the upcoming Urban Local Body (ULB) Elections in Kohima. The campaign program kicked off today at Molu Ki, Kohima. It may be noted that Ward 18 in Kohima is not a women’s reservation seat.
