Dear friends,
I had the privilege to take up the dream of thousands from across my Assembly Constituency. Dreams of young and old of dame and sire, widows and destitute.
Once in awhile the story of great men are relived; fables become real and the sheer joy surpass despair. I believe that everything has its season. I have contested the foregone bye election with issues facing the people. The people had voted and I concede to the result of General Assembly Bye Election to the 14-Southern Angami-I AC, 2020 with grace and dignity.
Victory and defeat are two side of the same coin; hence defeat is part of the game so much as failure is the pillar of success. The pandemic had given us little time to connect with each other; therefore, I realized I was not able to make myself visible enough to engage with my esteemed constituent members.
Through my journey over the months, my failure has taught me that I can improve more than what I am now. This cloud of despair will soon pass and I am convince we will one day march towards the dawn of light with the rising sun at the horizon.
Notwithstanding the outcome of the election result, in retrospect, I am truly thankful to all my family members, friends, well wishers and affirm to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my steadfast supporters who had weathered the election campaign overcoming immense testing with poise and conviction with the singular goal; to realize our shared dreams of equality, inclusiveness and progress. Your trust and faith in our shared vision will continue to inspire me and I hope we will keep that ember burning not losing sight of the future, which is to usher in reforms for empowerment of the youths; address the plight of the women;
widows; voice the concern of the farmers and initiate best practices for social transformation.
I take this opportunity to congratulate our elected leader Shri. Medovoto Yhokha, who will now represent our 14-Southern Angami Assembly Constituency in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and wish him the very best. I want to thank my friend and worthy opponent Shri. Kikovi Kirha of NPF party for making the election contest worthwhile.
In conclusion I am thankful to the Lord almighty for His abundant grace and for keeping us all safe throughout the course of the bye election.
With this few words I remain grateful.
Sincerely,
SEYIEVILIE PETER ZASHUMO
Independent Candidate,
14-Southern Angami-I AC
