Manipur CM Oath Date 2022: N Biren Singh will take oath as Manipur’s chief minister for a second term today at 3 pm. The Acting Chief Minister was unanimously elected as the Chief Minister of the state in the Manipur BJP legislature party meeting on March 20th.
The BJP central observers who had been sent to the state to oversee government formation, Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Kiren Rijiju handed over a letter on behalf of the party to the Manipur Governor Ganesan informing the election of N Biren Singh as the leader of the BJP legislature party with the support of 32 MLAs. Following this, 61-year-old was invited by the Manipur Governor to form the next government in the state.
Nirmala Sitharaman said, “It is a good decision taken unanimously by everyone. It will ensure that Manipur has a stable & responsible govt which will build further because the Centre today under the leadership of PM Modi gives special attention to Northeastern states.”

Significance
The oath-taking ceremony comes over a week after the Manipur Election Results 2022 were announced on March 10th. The Bharatiya Janta Party has won an absolute majority in Manipur for the first time.
The BJP won 32 seats in the 60-member assembly, while NPF won 5, NPP won 7, JD (U) won 6 and the Congress won 5 seats.
Two political parties, the JD(U) and Kuki People’s Alliance, which have won 6 seats and 2 seats respectively and an independent have extended their unconditional support to the BJP. This takes the strength of the BJP-led government in the state to 41, which amounts to a two-thirds majority in the 60-member assembly.
This will be BJP’s second consecutive government in the state. The BJP had formed the previous government in the state with the support of the National People’s Party (NPP) and Naga People’s Front (NPF).
Heartiest congratulations Shri @NBirenSingh ji on getting elected as Chief Minister of Manipur once again.
Under your able leadership, I am sure Manipur will continue on the path of accelerated growth & development.
My best wishes for all your future endeavours.
