Sheikh Noorul Hassan Takes Charge: NPP's New Legislative Leader in Manipur

The National Peoples' Party (NPP) has appointed Kshetrigao MLA Sheikh Noorul Hassan as the leader of its legislative party in Manipur, following the death of former leader Kayisii. Hassan has also been named the working president of NPP Manipur. The NPP had previously withdrawn support from the N Biren Singh government.

The National Peoples' Party (NPP) has named Sheikh Noorul Hassan, the MLA from Kshetrigao, as the leader of its legislative party in the Manipur assembly. This decision follows the passing of the former leader, MLA Kayisii.

In an official statement, Conrad K Sangma, the party president, announced Hassan's appointment amid the grief over Kayisii's untimely demise. Furthermore, Y Joykumar Singh, the party's interim state president, has appointed Hassan as the working president of NPP Manipur until further directives are issued.

Last year, the NPP, which has seven MLAs in Manipur, decided to pull back its support for the N Biren Singh administration, signaling a shift in the state's political dynamics.
