In a significant political development in Manipur, India, the President's Rule, which had been in place for nearly a year, is set to be lifted. According to Qaumi Awaz Stories, the President's Rule was imposed on February 13, 2025, following the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on February 9, 2025. The 60-member assembly was suspended at that time, and its term is set to last until 2027, indicating that elections are due next year. Recently, Yumnam Khemchand Singh, the newly appointed leader of the BJP legislative party, presented his claim to form the government to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla. The article notes that Khemchand Singh was elected as the leader in the presence of 35 out of 37 BJP assembly members, along with central observers Tarun Chugh and North-East in-charge Samit Patra. There is speculation that two deputy chief ministers might also be appointed soon. This development marks a pivotal moment in Manipur's political landscape as the state prepares for potential new leadership.
