Kohima Municipal Council Leadership Stays Intact After Failed No-Confidence Motion
The no-confidence motions against KMC Chairperson Neikhozo Suokhrie and Deputy Chairperson Khrielievi Chusi have failed due to a lack of quorum. Only six elected members attended the meeting, short of the required number. Both leaders continue in their roles, reflecting internal differences in the council.

The Kohima Municipal Council (KMC) chairperson Neikhozo Suokhrie and deputy chairperson Khrielievi Chusi continue in their roles after no-confidence motions against them failed. The meeting, aimed at discussing their removal, was dissolved due to insufficient attendance, as confirmed by officials.
Deputy Commissioner B Henok Buchem revealed that only six elected members were present at the meeting, falling short of the quorum needed under the Nagaland Municipal Act, 2023. As a result, the no-confidence motion was rendered null and void, allowing Suokhrie and Chusi to maintain their leadership positions.
This development underscores emerging rifts within the council, despite a strong NDPP presence. Though NDPP merged with NPF, formalities regarding KMC positions remain incomplete. Suokhrie reassured cooperation among councillors for the city's welfare, following recent elections after two decades.
