Yumnam Khemchand Singh Sworn In as Manipur Chief Minister After President's Rule Ends

Manipur's President's Rule was revoked on February 4, 2026, enabling BJP leader Yumnam Khemchand Singh to be sworn in as the 13th Chief Minister. Deputy Chief Ministers Nemcha Kipgen and Losii Dikho represent the Kuki and Naga communities, respectively, reflecting an inclusive government formation. The new administration, supported by BJP allies, faces challenges including ethnic tensions, displaced populations, and disarmament efforts following violent clashes since May 2023. The Manipur Assembly session resumed on February 5 with a floor test planned to affirm the government's majority.
