Yumnam Khemchand Singh takes oath as Chief Minister of Manipur
- Following the appointment, shots were fired in Churachandpur district, with Ginza Vualzog warning that Nemcha Kipgen was 'on her own,' as tensions escalated.
- In recent months, tensions have steadily risen between Kukis and Nagas, fueled by the Zeliangrong United Front's January 2026 destruction of poppy fields in Kangpokpi district and delayed justice over cases involving CRPF soldier Vipin Wilson.
- Political alignments reflect security needs as well as local power ties, with the Nagas and the Kuki-Zo-Hmar forming 40 percent of the population and sending 20 MLAs, while many rely on SoO groups for security.
- Ginza Vualzog warned that Churachandpur MLAs may face threats if they join the popular government, citing the Guwahati Declaration and warning against defiance.
- For many Kukis, separate administration is framed as the necessary remedy as the Kuki-Zo people are landlocked between Meiteis toward Imphal and Nagas toward Senapati, pushing some Kukis to align with the BJP for security.
