Manipur Ends President's Rule with Yumnam Khemchand Singh as New Chief Minister

After nearly a year of President's Rule, Manipur's governance is transitioning as Yumnam Khemchand Singh of the BJP is sworn in as Chief Minister, accompanied by two Deputy Chief Ministers from the Kuki and Naga communities. This move aims to restore constitutional governance and address ethnic divisions following prolonged violence and displacement. However, key Kuki-Zo groups oppose participation without written political assurances, reflecting ongoing mistrust and challenges in reconciliation amid security concerns and demands for separate administration.
