<P> The Chief Minister of Nagaland is the chief executive of the northeast Indian state of Nagaland . As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister . Following elections to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government . The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly . Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits . </P> <P> Since 1963, ten people belonging to seven parties have served as Chief Minister of Nagaland . The first three belonged to the Naga Nationalist Organisation, including the inaugural officeholder P. Shilu Ao .
