NDPP leader Neiphiu Rio on March 7 took oath as the Chief Minister of Nagaland for the fifth term.
Mr. Rio will be leading an all-party government with no Opposition in his State even as the Central Government continues talks with former rebels of the NSCN (IM) to finalise a long-awaited peace accord in the border State.
The NDPP-BJP coalition, in the recently concluded Nagaland polls, won 37 seats in the 60-member Assembly.
All other parties in the State subsequently extended their letters of support to the Mr. Rio-led alliance.
Since the commencement of the election campaign, both NDPP and BJP had projected 72-year-old Mr. Rio as their chief ministerial candidate.
