Neiphiu Rio, the chief minister, is running from Northern Angami-I and plans to seek the top job for a fifth term as the CM nominee for the NDPP-BJP coalition. The Tyui seat is situated in Wokha district and is the home base of BJP nominee and Deputy Chief Minister Y Patton. Senchumo Lotha of the Janata Dal (Union), Y Kikon of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Hayithung Tungoe Lotha of the Independent Party are Patton's opponents in the race.

According to the India Today-Axis My India exit poll, the NDPP-BJP alliance looks set to retain power in Nagaland, and may win 38 to 48 seats in the assembly election. The poll also gives BJP a surprising 16 per cent vote share and 10-14 seats, possibly coming from eastern Nagaland where it focused its campaigning.
