The state party bettered its tally to 38 in the Assembly polls clinching 12 more seats against 26 it won last time. It had contested in all the seats of the 60-member Assembly.
Congress could manage to win only eight seats compared to the 18 it won last time.
NPF allies JD(U) and BJP won a seat each. NCP contested in 15 but won in four seats, while RJD failed to open its account though it entered the fray in two constituencies.
Independents won 8 seats. Elections were held in 59 of the total 60 seats. Election to Teunsang Sadar was countermanded following the death of Congress candidate P Chuba Chang a day before the February 23 polls.
NPF heavyweights who were re-elected today included Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, who won his Northern Angami seat by a convincing 12671 margin of votes for the sixth consecutive time defeating his Congress rival Kevise Sogotsu.
Former Nagaland Home Minister and NPF candidate Imkong L Impchen, who resigned following his arrest for allegedly carrying over Rs one crore in cash, arms and ammunition besides liquor in his vehicle ahead of the assembly polls, defeats independent candidate T Chalukumba Ao by 5735 votes. Congress candidate for the seat Moatemjen forfeited his deposit after winning just 98 votes.
Lok Sabha MP CM Chang, who contested from Noksen was another prominent winner for the NPF. Speaker Kiyanilie Peseyie won Western Angami seat for the third time defeating his Congress rival Asu Keyho by 1000 votes.
Among those of the NPF who got a drubbing were Rajya Sabha MP Khekiho Zhimomi in Ghaspani-I, Minister for Forest M.C.Konyak in Wakching, Education Minister Nyiewang Konyak in Aboi and Parliamentary Secretary for CAWD Torechu in Pungro Kiphire.
Congress winners included PCC chief S I Jamir and Leader of the Opposition Tokheho Yepthomi in Dimapur II and Dimapur III seats.
None of the two women candidates could make it to the house this time too. Nagaland, where the first elections were held in 1964, has not seen any women representative in the House as of date.
Final party position:
Total seats : 60 | Election held : 59 | Results declared : 59
Naga Peoples Front (NPF) : 37 | Indian National Congress (INC) : 8 | Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) : 1 | Nationalist Congress Party (NCP): 4 | Janata Dal(United) : 1 | Independents : 8
