N Biren Singh has been chosen as Manipur Chief Minister for a second time. Ten days after election results came, the BJP on Sunday announced Singh as the Chief Minister among two more contenders - Biswajit Singh and Yumnam Khemchand.

The 1961-born Singh is five-time MLA from the Heingang Assembly constituency.


A former footballer and journalist, Singh, 61, led the BJP campaign in Manipur, although the BJP had not formally announced a chief ministerial face then.


The BJP returned to power in Manipur for the second time in a row, winning 32 seats in the 60-member House in the recent assembly elections in the state. N Biren Singh had won from the Heingang assembly seat.
