Nagaland local body elections see 80% voter turnout despite ENPO boycott call
State Election Commissioner (SEC) T. John Longkumer reported that no votes were cast in the six eastern Nagaland districts due to the boycott call by the ENPO. Longkumer stated, "Earlier 79 candidates from these six districts filed their nominations, but they later withdrew their candidatures. No candidate is contesting in the town councils in eastern Nagaland, where ENPO gave a vote boycott call in support of their statehood demand for 'Frontier Nagaland Territory'."
