In a defining moment for Nagaland’s political landscape, the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) formally merged with the Naga People’s Front (NPF) on October 17, signalling the dawn of a new era of regional unity and cooperation.

Announcing the merger during the NDPP’s 6th General Convention at the Capital Cultural Hall in Kohima, Chief Minister and NDPP leader Dr. Neiphiu Rio hailed the move as “a step towards a stronger, united regional movement.”

“This is not just a strategic political decision,” Rio said, addressing an emotionally charged gathering, “but a reaffirmation of our shared vision to protect Naga history, identity, culture, and traditions. Together, we can represent our people better and address the long-pending Naga political issue more effectively.”
