Manipur elects 60 MLAs split between the Imphal valley and the surrounding hill districts. The state went through a period of President's Rule between February 2025 and February 2026 following ethnic unrest, before Yumnam Khemchand Singh was sworn in as Chief Minister in February 2026.

The National People's Party, Naga People's Front, Janata Dal (United), and Congress are among the other parties active in the state.
