All candidates in eastern Nagaland withdraw from civic polls

The Hindu  

All the candidates from six districts comprising eastern Nagaland withdrew from the civic polls in the northeastern State while 64 others have been elected uncontested. The Nagaland urban local body polls, stalled for 20 years due to stiff opposition from traditional tribal bodies to the reservation of 33% of the seats for women, are scheduled on June 26. Some candidates had filed their nominations in some town councils of four districts despite a call given by the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation to abstain from all elections. A statement provided by the State Election Commission said 45 of such candidates were fielded by the ruling Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party, seven by its ally Bharatiya Janata Party, five by the Nationalist Congress Party, three by Congress, and two each by the Naga People’s Front and Independents.
