A free and fair election is the foundation of a democratic form of Government. As a citizen of a state and a country, we cannot do away with politics as long as we are part of the society. There was a time when the Nagas held leadership as a sacrificial service to the community and it was shameful to claim to be a leader by oneself. But, looking at the current scenario of the Naga society,leadership has become an opportunity for leaders to perpetuate their earthly kingdom. A land where all the politicians, aspirants, and almost all the voters are Christians, the values and the Christian standard of living are not visible during the process of election. Elections in Nagaland have been linked with unethical and rampant malpractices which led Nagaland to be socially corrupted, morally bankrupt, and politically visionless. Therefore, every eligible person must do what is right according to the biblical truth by avoiding all forms of election malpractices, and the churches as an agent of change need to play a vital and prophetic role to heal and to bring peace and harmony to our land and in the society.
