After Lok Sabha polls, ENPO announces decision to abstain from Urban Local Body elections
Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) announced that it would also abstain from the Urban Local Body (ULB) elections scheduled on June 26. The body has earlier abstained from participating in recently held Lok Sabha polls resulting in not a single vote cast in six districts of Nagaland.
ENPO which has been demanding a separate 'Frontier Nagaland Territory' or a separate state comprising the six eastern Nagaland districts, boycotted the election to the lone Nagaland Lok Sabha seat on April 19 in support of its demand, is the apex body of seven tribes from the six eastern districts of Kiphire, Longleng, Mon, Noklak, Shamator, and Tuensang.
ENPO Secretary W. Manwang Konyak on Thursday said that they have already informed the State Election Commission (SEC) that the people of the six districts would abstain from voting in the ULB polls, covering three Municipal Councils and 36 Town Councils.
«The ENPO has in a letter to the SEC informed about the eastern Nagaland people’s collective decision to abstain from participating in the forthcoming ULB elections scheduled on June 26. We did not get any further communication in this regard either from the government or the SEC.”
