Legislative Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in Nagaland on 27 February 2023 to elect all 60 members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. The votes will be counted and the results will be declared on 2 March 2023.
The tenure of 13th Nagaland Assembly is scheduled to end on 12 March 2023. The previous assembly elections were held in February 2018. After the election, coalition of Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party and Bharatiya Janata Party formed the state government, with Neiphiu Rio becoming Chief Minister. BJP severed ties with its local ally, Naga People's Front to form the government despite NPF emerging as the single largest party.
On April 2022, 21 NPF MLAs joined NDPP along with then leader of the opposition reducing NPF strength to 4.
On November 2022, three BJP District President of Kohima, Wokha and Peren joined JD(U) as a major jolt to BJP
