Former Assembly Speaker Yumnam Khemchand Singh to be new Manipur CM

Yumnam Khemchand Singh, former Speaker and a Minister in the erstwhile Biren Singh government, is set to become the new Chief Minister of Manipur, which is under President’s Rule for the last almost one year. He was elected the BJP legislature party leader at a meeting of party MLAs at the BJP headquarters in Delhi on Tuesday. The CM’s post has been vacant since N Biren Singh resigned on February 9, 2025. The 60-member State assembly, which has a tenure till 2027, was put under suspended animation. The State has been hit hard by continuing ethnic clashes between the Kuki-Zo and Metei communities that erupted on May 3, 2023 over the issue of proposed reservation to the latter. In the Manipur assembly, BJP has 37 MLAs, supported by its allies Naga People’s Front’s five and JD(U)’s lone legislator. Opposition holds 16 seats, comprising National People’s Party (6), Congress (5), independents (3), and two from KPA.
