This state hasn't seen a woman MLA
Here’s one state assembly that hasn’t seen a woman in all its 54 years of existence. Nagaland, which is going to polls this month, is yet to see a woman MLA. This time around, five women are contesting the elections, up from 3 in the last elections. Interestingly, except for one, all the women candidates are first timers.
Here’s one state assembly that hasn’t seen a woman in all its 54 years of existence. Nagaland, which is going to polls this month, is yet to see a woman MLA. This time around, five women are contesting the elections, up from 3 in the last elections. Interestingly, except for one, all the women candidates are first timers.
Interestingly, Nagaland did have a woman MP. Rano Shaiza of the United Democratic Party is the first and only woman in this state. She won an election in 1977.
This time around, two women are contesting from National People's Party (NPP) and one is a BJP nominee. BJP nominee Rakhila, wife of four-time MLA Lakirumong, has contested in the past and lost the elections. Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) has fielded a woman, while the fifth woman nominee is an independent.
The ruling Naga People's Front (NPF has not fielded any women candidate this time.
