Salhoutuonuo Kruse made history on March 7 by becoming Nagaland’s first woman minister.
Five days ago, 56-year-old Salhoutonou Kruse made history, winning a razor thin election by all of seven votes, and becoming one of Nagaland’s first two women to become a lawmaker in its 60 years of statehood.
The other woman candidate to win the elections was Hekani Jakhalu, also from NDPP, who won from Dimapur-III against Azheto Zhimomi of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) by over 1,500 votes.
Kruse, who completed her education from Kohima College in 1986, is a teacher by profession, and the proprietor of a private school in Chumoukedima district of the state.
She also served as an advisory board member in Angami Public Organisation, the tribe’s male dominated apex organisation.
