1991

The election was a direct contest between sitting MP Shikiho Sema from the INC and Imchalemba of the NPC. This was the first election that the BJP fielded a candidate for the Nagaland seat, Pius Lotha, who had to repeatedly reiterate that the BJP was not a communal party. The ban on the National Socialist Council of Nagaland by the Vishwanath Pratap Singh government was the main issue during the election campaigning with the INC and NPC blaming each other for the ban.

1996

On 28 July 1992, Imchalemba had joined the Congress. [14] He fought the 1996 elections on the Congress' ticket. The continued presence of the security forces in Nagaland was an important electoral issue. The Naga Students' Federation demanded a boycott of the elections until the "disturbed area" tagged under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act was revoked. Congress now had their government in the Centre as well as the state. Imchalemba's opponent, H. Khekiho Zhimomi stated "we certainly don't deserve these black laws in the state and we have the experience of the '50s and '60s which have made this crystal clear. As long as we have these laws operational in the state, violence and tension will continue during elections." [15] Imchalemba won the election comfortably and represented the state in the 11th Lok Sabha.
