Manipur NPF unit President Awangbou and its General Secretary Robert Maram reportedly met the Nagaland CM and the NPF chief Dr Sherhozile in regard to the distribution of post in respect of Senapati ADC but there is no decision on who will be the Chairman or vice chairman.
It may be noted that, all the four Independent ADC members from Senapati are also in Kohima to join the NPF fold in formation of the NPF led council.
