Mokokchung, May 28 (MExN): Arenmongla, described as a ‘veteran political leader’ in Mokokchung district, has declared her candidature to contest the forthcoming municipal elections from Kumlong Ward No 7, under Mokokchung town.

Kumlong is one of the six wards reserved for women along with Alempang, Artang, Sungkomen, Penli, and Marepkong Ward, in the polls scheduled for June 26.

As per a press release from her Media-Campaign Team, fifty-three-year-old Arenmongla, aka Arenla Pongen, is a mother of two and was born and brought up in Kumlong Ward, though she hails from Mongchen village.

Arenmongla’s political orientation is towards conservation of regional politics, and she has been an active regional party leader since 2003, it maintained.

She joined the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) in 2018 and aspires to contest the ULBs elections from the party and is actively pursuing the same, it informed.

As Kumlong Ward is reserved for women, she feels that it is a God-given opportunity to contest and serve the people as a Municipal Councillor, it added.
