2013 Nagaland Legislative Assembly election

The 2013 Nagaland Legislative Assembly election was held on February 23, 2013, to elect members of the 60-seat Nagaland Legislative Assembly. This election occurred amid a backdrop of political volatility, with the ruling Naga Peoples Front (NPF) seeking to retain power against a coalition of opposition parties. Key issues during the campaign included governance, infrastructure development, and the longstanding peace process with various insurgent groups in the region. The elections were marked by relatively low voter turnout and allegations of electoral malpractice. Ultimately, the NPF, led by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, emerged victorious, securing a significant majority and continuing its tenure in office.
