Nongpoh, February 24: The leaders and members of the National People’s Party (NPP) in Nongpoh constituency today officially announced their exit from the party as a result of the deceitful action of the party which has disheartened everyone, while also expressing that the action of the senior party leaders is an insult to the hard work they have put in for the party in the past years.
The leaders of the NPP from this constituency took the decision to exit the party one day after the party announced the candidature of incumbent MDC from Umsning, Macdalyne Sawkmie Mawlong for the Nongpoh seat in the Assembly Election of 2023.
The President of the NPP, Nongpoh Block said that the actions of the senior leaders has embittered them. Another leader expressed that granting a party ticket to candidates must be done at the block or constituency level, but now without going through the process of the block level, a candidate has been announced which shows that the senior and higher functionaries of the party see the party worker in Nongpoh as amateurs who do not know how to work.
The President of the Women’s Wing of the NPP said that they do not want to exit the party for they are the pioneers of the party in the constituency but the insult is just unacceptable.
In the meeting held today evening, the leaders of the NPP and NPYF Nongpoh without any delay promptly decided on exiting the party. The leaders include Augustine Wahlang, President of Nongpoh Block NPP, Delis Mallai, President of Nongpoh NPP Women’s Wing, Doristar Klein, Secretary of NPYF Nongpoh, Arbingstone Syiem, President of NPYF Nongpoh, Henry Nongrum,Organising Secretary,S.A.Ranee, Vice President and other prominent leaders of the NPP in Nongpoh constituency.
