Here are the latest updates:

 The Election Commission of India (ECI) on January 14 asserted that as mandated by the Constitution it would ‘deliver election’ in Nagaland.

“We will deliver the elections despite whatever calls there are and it doesn’t affect the political process,” said Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar while replying to media queries in presence of Election Commissioners Anup Chandra Pandey and Arun Goel here.

The Naga civil societies have been demanding solution to vexed Naga Political Issue before the conduct of the state election while the Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation have declared not to participate in the election process unless their demand for a separate State composed of the six eastern districts are fulfilled.
