Imphal, July 06 2025: S Brojen has been elected as the new president of Manipur People's Party (MPP) after winning the party's long-awaited presidential election held on Sunday at GM Hall, Imphal, alongside the party's general conference.

Brojen secured a total of 165 votes, defeating four other contenders of the post.

The election marks a significant step for the party, which has not held a presidential election in recent years due to a legal disputes.

With the vacancy now filled, the party has signalled a renewed commitment to rebuilding its organisational strength and public credibility.

Speaking to reporters following his victory, Brojen pledged that MPP will now focus on reconnecting with the people and revitalising the party from the grassroots.

He acknowledged the party's diminished presence in recent years but asserted that MPP, as one of the oldest regional parties in the state, has a critical role to play in addressing Manipur's complex political and social challenges.

He expressed confidence that a strong regional force can better represent the interests of the people.

MPP general secretary and general conference convenor Dr K Muktasana said that the party had been unable to conduct the presidential election due to pending court cases that had stalled internal processes.

However, a High Court order dated May 13 this year disposed of the pending cases, clearing the way for the election to be held.

Dr Muktasana also said that the general conference was organised to chart out a new roadmap for the party's revival.

The conference deliberated on strategies to strengthen the party's grassroots presence and prepare for active participation in governance.

He added that MPP would work towards fielding as many candidates as possible in the upcoming Manipur Legislative Assembly elections, with the target of winning at least 31 seats to lead the next government.

With a new leadership in place and a strategic plan underway, MPP aims to re-establish itself as a force to reckon with in the state's shifting political landscape, he added.
