Drawing attention to a recent article published on some former NDPP members from Phek District joining Indian National Congress on August 1, the NDPP 17 Chizami A/C has clarified that the mentioned members were ’ot associated with NDPP after the last State Assembly Election.

“It is to be noted here that D. Mosonyi Domeh, Former President, NDPP Phek Region and Yetshulhi Ngatsi, Former CEC Member NDPP had defected to NPP Party ahead of the last State Assembly Election held in February 2023 and supported the NPP candidate. As such, the question of them defecting from NDPP Party to INC Party is totally irrelevant and unfounded. It was nothing more than a ploy to discredit the NDPP 17 Chizami A/C party and to create confusion in the minds of the general public by using NDPP Party’s name and designation by them in the first place,” stated the NDPP 17 Chizami A/C in a clarification.
