In a significant leadership change, Neibodzelie Solo has been elected as the chairperson of the Kohima Municipal Council, while Thenusou Sekhose assumes the role of deputy chairperson. This decision came after the resignation of previous leaders on health grounds earlier this year.
Kohima Deputy Commissioner B Henok Buchem announced that the vote was unanimous among the 16 present councillors. The key issue facing the new leadership is the council's financial instability, exacerbated by the long-pending issue of unpaid salaries and a ban on tollgate collections.
Deputy Chairperson Sekhose highlighted the need for innovative revenue-generation strategies to overcome financial constraints, assuring that efforts will be made for the council to achieve self-sustainability. The Naga Peoples' Front showed dominance in the recent elections, securing a majority of seats, signaling a potential period of collaborative governance.
