2008 Nagaland Legislative Assembly election

The 2008 Nagaland Legislative Assembly election was held on February 23, 2008, to elect representatives for the 60 constituencies of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. This election was significant as it took place amidst ongoing political negotiations regarding peace talks with various separatist groups in the region. The incumbent party, the Naga People's Front (NPF), led by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, sought re-election against a backdrop of complex tribal dynamics and shifting political alliances. The election saw a voter turnout of approximately 83%, reflecting active citizen engagement. Results were announced on February 26, with the NPF emerging victorious, solidifying its position in state politics and continuing its governance in Nagaland amidst ongoing demands for greater autonomy and resolution of ethnic conflicts.
