Kenye has been a strong contender in the assembly election. He has been vocal about the long-standing political issues in the state and has been demanding permanent peace in the state.

Other candidates in the Chizami seat were National People's Party candidate Vevoyi Wideo and NPF's Kezhienyi Khalo.

NDPP and BJP contested the state assembly elections with an agreement to have 40-20 seat share. In 2018, the NDPP-BJP contested the election with a 40:20 formula (40 seats for the NDPP and 20 for the BJP) and the same is being followed this time.
