<P> The Chief Minister of Manipur is the chief executive of the northeast Indian state of Manipur . As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister . Following elections to the Manipur Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government . The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly . Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits . </P> <P> Since 1963, twelve people have served as Chief Minister of Manipur . Five of these belonged to the Indian National Congress, including the inaugural officeholder Mairembam Koireng Singh . The current incumbent Nongthombam Biren Singh is the first Chief Minister belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No </Th> <Th> Name </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Term of office
