Mokokchung, August 29 (nokinketer.in): The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) held the installation and oath-taking program of the newly elected office bearers of the 27 Mokokchung Town Assembly Constituency (A/C) and Units for the tenure 2024–2027 at Multi-Purpose Indoor Stadium, Imkongmeren Sports Complex, Mokokchung, on August 29.
The installation and oath-taking ceremony of the new office bearers was officiated by Repameren, President of NDPP Mokokchung Region. A total of 397 party members took the oath taking and took the pledge from the five units of the 27 Mokokchung Town Assembly Constituency – Kumlong, Mongsenbai, Kichutip, Salangtem and Aongza wards.
Metsubo Jamir, Minister of Rural Development & SIRD, Nagaland, in his keynote address encouraged the office bearers to uphold the values and vision of the NDPP, stating that their responsibility was not only to the party but also to the people they serve.
Jamir expressed gratitude to all present and said he was thankful to God for the blessings that enabled him to be elected as a member from the constituency. Addressing the new office bearers, he said, “397 is a very big strength. When we go on working, our responsibility is very important for the party to grow.” He cautioned that if members “give trouble, then it will be big trouble,” urging them to align well with the party.
Acknowledging the contributions of past leaders and members, he reminded them that their work should not be forgotten and emphasized that all the ten constituencies in Mokokchung should grow, adding that the region has been supporting the party well.
With the election approaching, Jamir stressed the need for unity, stating that all seven Assembly Constituencies where the party is in power must come together for success. “This team will face the election,” he said, while encouraging the members to work for the party’s cause. He also encouraged them to engage in self-reflection, emphasising the importance of fulfilling the true meaning of politics.
Jamir highlighted the recent medical camp organized by the 27 Mokokchung Town Assembly Constituency Youth Organization of NDPP, which he said was successfully conducted across the constituency. He described it as an eye-opener, as it gave an opportunity to help people who could not afford treatment outside. “I realized that people should be treated with love and not for votes,” he added.
He concluded by urging the office bearers to work for the positive cause of the party and to be willing to sacrifice themselves for its growth.
Metsubo Jamir cut the ribbon to induct 100 trainees from Mokokchung Town for training and placement in hotel management, an initiative powered by Honda India Foundation CSR. The program, which he initiated specifically for the youths of his 27 Mokokchung Town Constituency, also envisions global opportunities with training and 100% job placement in Japan, Dubai and other hospitality hubs. Later, he also attended as the Guest of Honour at the 5th Football Tournament-cum-Penalty Shootout organized by the 27 Mokokchung Town A/C Youth Organization at the Multipurpose Hall, Imkongmeren Sports Complex.
