Touphema, Feb 26 (UNI) Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has said Nagaland Peoples' Front (NPF) will win Dimapur-I and Tuensang Sadar II seats, where bypolling would be held on March 8, following death of the candidates of these assembly constituencies.
Talking to newspersons on the sidelines of the Sekrenyi festival of Angami tribe here last afternoon, Mr Rio has ruled out any misunderstanding among the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) alliance partners although all the alliance partners were fielding their own candidates.
He said it was necessitated due to voting pattern in Nagaland, which was not comparable to any part of the country. Areas are dominated by clans of various tribes, who will elect candidates even ignoring party affiliation.
