- Separate Administration for Eastern Nagaland: The Eastern Nagaland Public Organisation (ENPO) demanded a separate administration for six districts in Eastern Nagaland, leading to a boycott of the elections and a total shutdown in these regions. This issue significantly impacted the voter turnout in these areas.
- Employment and Development: The election focused on issues related to employment and development, with the candidates emphasizing their plans for improving the socio-economic conditions of the people in Nagaland.
- Religious Appeal: The Nagaland CEO issued a notice to Congress candidate S. Supongmeren Jamir for making an appeal to voters on religious lines, which was seen as a significant issue in the election.
- National and Regional Politics: The election was part of the larger national political landscape, with the BJP-led NDA and the INC-led INDIA bloc competing for power. The opposition criticized the BJP for being a disproportionate beneficiary of the electoral bonds scheme and for alleged hate speech.
- Voter Turnout: The voter turnout was significantly lower in the six districts of Eastern Nagaland, which experienced a total shutdown and a “call to abstain” from elections. This region accounts for over 30% of the state’s population and 20 out of 60 seats in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly.
