The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has reviewed key developments from 2025 and reiterated its commitment to public service as the state looks ahead to 2026. In a press communiqué issued at the end of the year, the party highlighted a number of milestones that, it said, had contributed to greater unity and steadier governance across Nagaland.
Naga People’s Front 2025 milestones and the NDPP–NPF merger
Central to the NPF’s account of the year was the historic merger with the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP). The party described the NDPP–NPF consolidation as a defining moment that strengthened regional politics and improved the coherence of government operations. According to the communiqué, the merger has helped reduce political fragmentation and provided a clearer platform to pursue development priorities.
NPF officials stressed that, despite the complexities of combining party structures and programmes, collective efforts from both sides advanced governance stability and made it easier to address local concerns. The party said its priorities will remain anchored in delivering services and supporting economic and social welfare for the Naga people.
Calls for peace and protection of communal spaces
The press release also drew attention to disturbing incidents towards the end of the year, including instances of disruption of church services and vandalism of Christmas decorations in parts of the state. The NPF condemned those actions and urged authorities to take swift, impartial action to ensure the safety of worshippers and the protection of community property.
Party leaders emphasised the need to safeguard communal harmony, noting that public order and mutual respect are essential to sustaining development efforts. The statement appealed to civil society, religious groups and political actors to work together to prevent further incidents and to foster reconciliation where tensions have arisen.
Commitment to governance and a forward-looking agenda
The NPF reiterated that honesty, integrity and dedication would guide its work in the coming year. It said the party remains focused on practical policy measures aimed at improving livelihoods, enhancing infrastructure and expanding access to public services across Nagaland.
While the communiqué did not set out an exhaustive policy programme, it signalled an intention to build on the momentum generated by the merger and to use enhanced political cohesion to address long-standing local issues. The party welcomed partnerships with community organisations and government departments to translate commitments into concrete outcomes.
In closing, the NPF extended New Year greetings and expressed hope for peace, unity and progress in 2026. The party urged citizens and leaders alike to prioritise dialogue and cooperation as the state moves into the new year, underscoring that political stability and social harmony are complementary objectives in the pursuit of development.
