Political career

[edit]

Nemcha Kipgen contested and won the legislative assembly seat from the Kangpokpi constituency in 2012, on a ticket of Manipur State Congress Party (MSCP).[4] She came up from the ranks of the Sadar Hills District Demand movement of the Kuki people, which was mainly organised by the women activists of the area.[5] MSCP, originally an off-shoot of Indian National Congress, merged back into Congress in 2014 along with its 5 legislators.[6] Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) called for the disqualification of the legislators, but did not succeed.[7]

During the 2015 protests against the controversial "anti-tribal bills" passed by the state legislature, Nemcha Kipgen's house was set ablaze by protesters along with several other legislators and ministers.[8] In 2016, Kipgen was appointed as the chairperson of the state legislature's Committee on Welfare of Women and Children.[9] In January 2017, a few months before the next Assembly election, Kipgen resigned from Congress and joined the BJP.[10]

Kipgen retained her Kangpokpi seat in the 2017 election, beating her nearest rival by close to 2,300 votes.[11] She seconded the nomination of N. Biren Singh for the leader of the BJP legislative party,[12] leading his elevation to the Chief Minister. Kipgen was chosen as the Minister for Social Welfare and Cooperation in Biren Singh ministry.[13] She served in this post till 2020, when she was dropped during a Cabinet reshuffle. The women supporters of Kipgen in Kangpokpi protested the action, and burnt an effigy of Biren Singh.[14]

In the 2022 Assembly election, Nemcha Kipgen again won the seat from Kangpokpi, beating her nearest rival by close to 5,400 votes.[15] She was sworn in as a Cabinet minister along with Chief Minister Biren Singh.[16] She was allocated the portfolios Commerce and Industry, Textiles and Cooperation in the ministry.[17]
