Significantly, Nagaland made history when it elected its first female parliamentarians in the state’s 60-year existence. Prior to Thursday’s election, the state had never had a female MLA in its 13 Assemblies.

The ruling NDPP’s two female legislators, Hekhani Jakhalu and Salhoutuonuo Kruse, defeated the sitting MLAs in Western Angami and Dimapur-III, respectively.

The Northeast state saw a triangular struggle when the Congress and CPIM, longtime enemies, formed a pre-poll coalition to unseat the incumbent BJP.
