On a cold, dreary morning in Kohima, a lone woman canvasses door to door, carrying a bag containing fresh fruits and vegetables from her garden. Her knees suffer the most as she traverses the city’s challenging terrain. Yet she is resilient, hopping through narrow lanes to reach her target group – elderly women voters.
Her message, spoken almost in whispers, is sincere and urgent: “If we don’t vote for our woman candidate this time, big parties won’t ever again give us women a chance. It’s now or never.”
