The Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) has reminded people to go for a “clean election,” vote with a clear conscience and without influence. May 26 appeal came two days ahead of the Nagaland Lok Sabha by-election. Naga People’s Front (NPF) president Shürhozelie Liezietsu also urged the party people to take a firm stand to defend the Christian faith.
The by poll was necessitated after Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio resigned from the Lok Sabha in February to contest the Assembly election. The polling held on May 28 and the counting of votes will take place on May 31. Campaigning closed on May 26.
