President\u2019s Rule has been revoked in Manipur nearly a year after it was imposed, clearing the way for the formation of a new BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the state. The revocation came just hours ahead of the oath-taking ceremony of the new council of ministers scheduled for Wednesday evening.<\/div>\n

In a gazette notification issued on Wednesday, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs announced that President Droupadi Murmu had revoked the proclamation under Article 356 of the Constitution with immediate effect.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIn exercise of the powers conferred by clause (2) of Article 356 of the Constitution, I, Droupadi Murmu, President of India, hereby revoke the Proclamation issued by me under the said article on the 13th day of February, 2025, in relation to the State of Manipur with effect from the 4th day of February, 2026,\u201d the order said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
President\u2019s Rule was imposed on February 13, 2025, following the resignation of then Chief Minister N Biren Singh. During this period, the Manipur Legislative Assembly remained in suspended animation \u2014 neither functioning nor dissolved.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The political crisis had deepened earlier when the Conrad Sangma-led National People\u2019s Party (NPP) withdrew support from the Biren Singh government in November 2024. Biren resigned on February 9, 2025, after meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president J P Nadda, paving the way for central rule.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
NDA legislature party leader Yumnam Khemchand Singh will be sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Manipur at 6 pm on Tuesday at Lok Bhavan. The Manipur BJP confirmed the development in a post on X.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Khemchand Singh belongs to the Meitei community. Nemcha Kipgen from the Kuki community and Losii Dikho from the Naga community will take oath as Deputy Chief Ministers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ahead of the ceremony, an NDA delegation led by Khemchand Singh met Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla at Lok Bhavan to stake claim to form the government. The delegation included two MLAs from the Kuki-Zo majority districts of Churachandpur and Pherzawl.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Manipur has been grappling with ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities since May 2023, a conflict that has claimed more than 200 lives. The state was previously governed by a BJP-led administration.<\/div>\n
