Nagaland is likely to get a woman Rajya Sabha MP for the first time as a coalition of the NDPP and the BJP, having 35 MLAs in the 60-member Assembly, nominated the saffron party’s Mahila Morcha president S Phangnon Konyak as the candidate for the election to the state’s lone seat to the Upper House of Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Naga People’s Front with 25 members held a meeting on Saturday to decide whether to support Konyak or field its own candidate, but it remained inconclusive, NPF secretary general and spokesperson Achumbemo Kikon told PTI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
