The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) on Tuesday, 6 January 2026, issued an official press statement placing on record the collective political decision of the Kuki-Zo people, as resolved by its apex representative bodies.
According to the press release, signed by Henlianthang Thanglet, Chairman, Kuki-Zo Council, and Thangzamang, General Secretary, Kuki-Zo Council, the KZC Governing Council, comprising all constituent bodies under the Council, convened a Governing Council General Meeting on 30 December 2025 at the VTI Auditorium, Rengkai, Churachandpur. The meeting undertook a comprehensive assessment of the prevailing political, social, and security situation in Manipur.
After extensive deliberations and reflecting the collective will and sentiment of the Kuki-Zo people, the Governing Council unanimously adopted a resolution stating that the Kuki-Zo people can no longer live together with the Meitei community under the present realities. The Council therefore reaffirmed its political demand for a Separate Administration, in the form of a Union Territory under the Constitution of India.
The resolution further stated that the Kuki-Zo people cannot and shall not participate in the formation of the Government of Manipur under the current circumstances.
The KZC Cabinet, in a meeting held on the same day, reaffirmed and endorsed the resolution, asserting that it represents the collective and democratic will of the Kuki-Zo people. The Council reiterated that it would not take part in the formation of the Government of Manipur as long as the present situation persists.
The press statement also clarified that if any individual chooses to participate in the formation of the Government of Manipur, such participation would be entirely at their own responsibility, and the Kuki-Zo Council would not be held accountable in any manner.
