The special session of the Assembly was summoned by Governor P B Acharya in order to settle the internal squabbling within the ruling Naga People's Front (NPF).
The motion of trust was put to Voice Vote in the Assembly by the speaker Chotisuh Sazo, later through the ballot after Chief Minister requested Speaker to put the motion to vote by slips for the record. Fifty nine legislators cast their votes through slips.
