Three of the 13 candidates fielded by the party — R. Khing, Huksa and Chenlom Phom — won the elections. The party contested as a partner of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland, which included the Naga People's Front, the BJP, the Samata Party and the NCP. The party candidates polled between 17 and 49 per cent of votes in 13 constituencies, barring Dimapur-1, where its candidate secured 2.47 per cent votes. As per the EC guidelines, a party can apply for registration as a recognised national party provided it has secured not less than six per cent of votes in four or more States in the Lok Sabha polls, plus four MPs from any State/States or two per cent of votes in the Lok Sabha elections with 11 MPs in three different States. For State party status, it has to be six per cent in the State Assembly elections plus two MLAs. The JD (U) chief and Union Minister, Sharad Yadav, said here today that the party was preparing its case to be presented to the EC. The party general secretary, K.C. Tyagi, told The Hindu that the party was awaiting detailed results to be filed by the State Election Commission with the EC before moving an application.
