The Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) today emerged as front-runner to form the government in the state with the conglomerate bagging 29 of the 57 seats, results for which were declared, and needing just two more to reach the required number. | |
| The Nagaland People's Front (NPF), which heads the DAN, won 25 seats, while its opponent Congress bagged 22. NCP and BJP secured two seats each. |
| |
| NPF, BJP, JD-U and NCP forged a pre-poll alliance but contested the elections on separate manifestos. Six Independents also won from their respective constituencies. Analysts said the three seats, where counting was not held, are NPF strongholds. |
