Kohima, October 10 — In a significant moment for Nagaland’s political landscape, the Naga People’s Front (NPF) held a solemn Special Prayer Programme at its Central Office in Kohima, seeking divine guidance and unity among its members as the party prepares for its proposed merger with the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP).
NPF President Apong Pongener addressed the gathering, expressing heartfelt gratitude to the organizers and reflecting on the party’s enduring legacy. He paid tribute to the pioneers who laid the foundation of the NPF through years of sacrifice and perseverance, urging current leaders to uphold their values and move forward with faith and solidarity. Pongener emphasized the importance of seeking God’s guidance not only for the party but also for the Naga people, and called for collective prayers for the success of the forthcoming merger.
MLA Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu, Leader of the NPF Legislature Party, echoed these sentiments, stating that the merger was becoming a reality through the earnest prayers of the people. He acknowledged that the NPF, once perceived to be at its lowest ebb, was now poised for revival and renewed strength. Nienu encouraged party members to remain humble, truthful, and faithful to their colleagues, cautioning against overconfidence in political life.
The prayer programme marked a moment of spiritual renewal and reaffirmation of purpose for the NPF as it transitions toward a new chapter in its political journey. The party is expected to formalize the merger during its upcoming general convention on October 21, coinciding with its 63rd foundation day.
