SHILLONG, Dec 3: National People’s Party (NPP) National President Conrad K. Sangma on Tuesday said the party is prepared to face the difficult political and law-and-order situation in Manipur and transform current challenges into opportunities for growth.
Sangma was speaking after felicitating newly appointed Manipur State President Dr Lorho S. Pfoze at the NPP office in Shillong. Newly appointed Legislative Party Leader Rameshwar M. Singh, Chief Whip Loken Singh and Working Presidents Janghemlung Panmei and Noorul Hasan were also honoured during the ceremony.
“Challenges will always be there, and challenges mean opportunities also,” Sangma said, expressing confidence that the party under Dr Pfoze’s leadership would be able to strengthen its organisational structure and expand its reach in Manipur.
He noted that Manipur has been witnessing a prolonged phase of political instability and unrest over the past two-and-a-half years, making it crucial for the party to reorganize and engage with communities across the state.
“We hope that we will be able to convert these challenges into opportunities and grow as a party,” Sangma added. He stressed that the NPP, being a democratic and secular party, respects diverse viewpoints and remains committed to serving all communities in Manipur and the Northeast.
Sangma further said, “We will engage with everybody and look at the larger interest of the state of Manipur and the North East region as a whole.”
While congratulating Dr Pfoze, a former MP, Sangma praised his experience, calm demeanour and dedication to regional development. He expressed confidence that Dr Pfoze would play a pivotal role in strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.
“Dr Lorho’s experience as a parliamentarian and his dedication to the people make him the ideal person to lead the party in Manipur,” Sangma said, assuring full support from the NPP national leadership.
The NPP chief reiterated that the party’s objective is to spread a message of unity and serve the people during this crucial phase for Manipur, as the state continues to navigate complex socio-political challenges.
