Nagaland Assembly Election Result 2023
Counting of votes is currently underway in Nagaland following the assembly elections, in which NDPP-BJP contested together as an alliance.

Currently, the ruling coalition government in Nagaland is formed by the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) and BJP.
