BJP candidate S Phangnon Konyak, who filed her nomination on Monday, is all set to be elected unopposed for the Rajya Sabha seat from Nagaland. She is the only candidate in the fray as no other candidate filed nominations on the last day (Monday).

She will also be the second Naga woman parliamentarian after Rano M Shaiza, who was elected to the Lok Sabha in 1977. According to an update from the Additional Secretary and Returning Officer to the biennial election to the Council of States Khruohituonuo Rio, Konyak’s nomination was found valid after the scrutiny of nomination papers were conducted on Tuesday.
