An active student leader during his School and College days, Rio entered politics at a very young age. He had headed many organizations before becoming the Chief Minister of Nagaland.

== Political career ==
On joining politics, Rio was first elected to [[Nagaland Legislative Assembly]] as Congress (I) candidate from the Northern Angami-II constituency during the 7th General Elections of 1989. He was appointed as the Minister for Sports and School Education and subsequently as Minister for Higher & Technical Education and Art & Culture; also served as Chairman in Nagaland Industrial Development Corporation, Nagaland Khadi & Village Industries Board and Development Authority of Nagaland.

C. Jamir]] from 1998 till 2002 when he resigned from the ministry accusing Chief Minister S. C.

After his resignation, Rio joined [[Nagaland People's Front|Naga People's Front]] which partnered with other Naga regionalist parties and the state branch of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) under his leadership to form the [[Democratic Alliance of Nagaland]] (DAN), a coalition which won the 2003 state elections, bringing the 10-year-long rule of the [[Indian National Congress]] in the state to an end. Rio subsequently took office as Chief Minister on 6 March 2003.

Before completing his first term, Rio was dismissed as Chief Minister when [[President's Rule]] was imposed in Nagaland on 3 January 2008.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080107025917/http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/06/stories/2008010657970100.htm "Rio hints at going to court"], ''The Hindu'', 6 January 2008.</ref> However, his party emerged as the single largest party in the ensuing elections and Rio, as the leader of DAN, was invited by the state Governor to form the government on 12 March 2008. During the 2013 Nagaland State elections, NPF won a thumping majority and Rio was re-elected as Chief Minister for a third term.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/neiphiu-rio-11-ministers-take-oath-in-nagaland/article4478545.ece|title=Neiphiu Rio, 11 ministers take oath in Nagaland|newspaper=The Hindu|date=2013-03-05}}</ref>
