Naga Republic News
The Election Commission of India on Sunday announced that the returning officer had wrongly announced the result of the Tenning Assembly constituency. A tabulation error had led to NR Zeliang of the Naga People’s Front being declared as the winner instead of Namri Nchang of the Nationalist Democratic Party, an order signed by the Election Commission Secretary Arvind Kumar said.
The change in results has taken the tally of the People’s Democratic Alliance, which consists of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party, to 32 in the 60-member Assembly.
As a result of this rectification in favour of the NDPP, the total seat of the NDPP-BJP Alliance is exactly 30. However, letters of support from independent candidate Tongpang Ozukum and the Janata Dal (United) Nagaland on Saturday night helped the alliance reach a total of 32 seats and crossing the simple majority mark.
The NPF still remains the single largest party with 26 seats. NR Zeliang is the brother of Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang, who won the election in Peren Assembly constituency. The Election Commission order said a tabulation error had led to NR Zeliang, who had polled 6,850 votes, being declared the winner, instead of Nchang who had secured 7,018.
