Yumnam Khemchand Singh was elected as the leader of the BJP legislature party in Manipur, paving the way for the formation of a new state government. His selection comes at a critical time as President’s Rule, imposed after prolonged ethnic violence and political instability, is set to end. A senior BJP leader and two-time MLA from Singjamei, Singh has served as Speaker of the Manipur Assembly and as a cabinet minister. Seen as an experienced administrator with strong organisational backing, his elevation signals a political reset and an effort to restore stability, governance, and public confidence in the violence-affected state.
