The Indian National Congress won a majority of the seats[1] and S. C. Jamir was re-appointed as the Chief Minister of Nagaland.

[4] The agreement ensured that while the government would not push for counter-insurgency operations against the NSCN (I-M) cadre and its leadership, the rebels on their part would not target armed forces.

The National Socialist Council of Nagaland and the Naga Hoho, (a tribal body), then demanded that upcoming elections should be postponed till the conclusion of the peace talks.

Since the Election Commission wasn't amenable to their arguments, they called for a boycott of the polls[1] even issuing threats to the various political parties where necessary.

[5] On 5 March, S. C. Jamir was sworn in as the Chief Minister, by the Governor Om Prakash Sharma, for his second successive term.
