The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and the BJP had contested the 2018 elections with a 40:20 seat-sharing formula and the alliance partners in July last year have decided to continue with the same understanding.The NDPP last time (2018) won 18 seats, BJP got 12 seats and formed the government with the support of the other parties and independents.
The Naga Peoples Front had suffered a severe jolt in April last year when 21 of the 26 NPF legislators led by former Chief Minister T.R.Zeliang had merged themselves with the NDPP and formed the all party United Democratic Alliance (UDA) government to expedite the Naga political dialogue with the Central government #Nagaland #Assembly #candi #wins #Telugu #TeluguStop #Nagaland #Kohima #Kohima #Congress #Democratic.
