List of chief ministers of Manipur - Wikipedia List of chief ministers of Manipur Chief Minister of Manipur Incumbent Nongthombam Biren Singh since March 15, 2017 Appointer Governor of Manipur Inaugural holder Mairembam Koireng Singh Formation 1 July 1963 The Chief Minister of Manipur is the chief executive of the northeast Indian state of Manipur. As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state 's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Manipur Legislative Assembly, the state 's governor usually invites the party ( or coalition ) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister 's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits. Since 1963, twelve people have served as Chief Minister of Manipur. Five of these belonged to the Indian National Congress, including the inaugural officeholder Mairembam Koireng Singh. The current incumbent Nongthombam Biren Singh is the first Chief Minister belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Jump up ^ This column only names the chief minister 's party. The state government he headed may have been a complex coalition of several parties and independents ; these are not listed here. ^ Jump up to : President 's rule may be imposed when the `` government in a state is not able to function as per the Constitution '', which often happens because no party or coalition has a majority in the assembly. When President 's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved. References Jump up ^ Durga Das Basu. Introduction to the Constitution of India. 1960. 20th Edition, 2011 Reprint. pp. 241, 245.
