In the 60-seat Nagaland Assembly, the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance is leading comfortably in 10 and 4 seats respectively. The Opposition Naga People's Front (NPF) is lagging behind with a lead in three seats.

In Nagaland, the ruling NDPP-BJP alliance is comparatively better placed as the Opposition Naga People's Front (NPF) and Congress contested only in 22 constituencies each out of the 59 seats. The NDPP-BJP contested the elections on a 40:20 seat-sharing arrangement. BJP expects that its tally will increase this time, from 12 in 2018.
