In a big boost to the Congress in Manipur, as many as 12 political leaders from different political parties, including two former MLAs, joined the party on Friday.
They were warmly welcomed by former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh at the Congress Bhavan in Imphal.
Among the high-profile additions were former NPP MLA from Tamei Assembly Constituency and former party national general secretary Z Kikhonbou Newmai and Kh Loken Singh, former MLA from Sagolband Assembly Constituency and former Senior Vice President of JDU.
The other members are:
- Humaliabou (Former Chairman of Autonomous District Council-ADC Tamenglong)
- Ramwangdin Abonmai (Former Member, ADC Tamenglong)
- MP. Guang (Former Member, ADC Tamenglong)
- Tadinang Gangmei (Former Member, ADC Tamenglong)

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, in a post on X, highlighted the growing momentum, stating, “The politics of Manipur is changing. @INCIndia won both the Lok Sabha seats in the state in June 2024 and now the exodus into the Congress continues. This is perhaps one reason why the non-biological PM is refusing to visit Manipur.”
“I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all the Leaders of Janata Dal United (JDU) and National People’s Party (NPP) who joined into INC at Congress Bhawan, Imphal Manipur, today. It is indeed, a great moment of the Congress Party in which you have shown the respect in the ideology and the leadership of our Mallikarjun Kharge ji and Rahul Gandhi ji . Let us work together for future of Manipur as well as unity of India and to protect our Constitution,” Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee President K Meghachandra Singh posted on X.
