Kohima: Nagaland Congress president S. Supongmeren Jamir ordered party workers Monday to start election preparations immediately. Jamir met with Phek District Congress leaders and chiefs on November 9 in Phek Town. He wants grassroots committees to hunt for loyal, capable candidates. Assembly Constituency Congress Committees must coordinate with district leadership to secure local victories.
The party wants strong teamwork. Jamir assured that the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee will step in to help if requested. He directed the Phek district branch to quickly nominate candidates for a vacant vice president post and a DISHA member slot. These selections must avoid internal friction. Jamir noted, "ACCCs hold the primary authority to select and propose intending candidates."
Problems should go to general secretary N. Rosy Thompson or working president Khriedi Theunuo. Theunuo praised the members for holding their ground. He wants the Booth Level Agents trained to handle the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Theunuo said this work serves as a core slogan for the next General Election.
Digital enrollment hit a wall. General secretary Akuonuo Miachieo confirmed technical glitches forced the party to switch back to physical forms. Workers must head to the Kohima office to pick up the paperwork. District president Khosapa Venuh chaired the session, which included input from various regional leaders like Vaprumu Demo.

Jamir now holds the title of Lok Sabha MP. He told the Phek meeting that the resignation of Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar remains a primary goal, crediting INC and INDIA bloc protests for the progress made on electoral roll revisions so far. He also instructed leaders to prepare for upcoming visits from All India Congress Committee observers.
The leadership also clarified specific roles, noting that N. Rosy Thompson serves as the Phek District In-Charge, while Khriedi Theunuo acts as the Zonal In-Charge.
