The President's Secretariat announced on Sunday that Manipur Governor La Ganesan has been selected as the next Governor of the poll-bound state of Nagaland. On February 12, the President of India appointed thirteen new Governors, news agency ANI reported.

According to the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President of India accepted the resignations of Bhagat Singh Koshyari as Governor of Maharashtra and Shri Radha Krishnan Mathur as Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh.

Ganesan was named Governor of Manipur in August 2021. Sushri Anusuiya Uikye, the current Governor of Chhattisgarh, will take his position, according to a news release.

From July 18 to November 17, 2022, he was also the Governor of West Bengal (Additional Charge). Gulab Chand Kataria, the head of the BJP's opposition in Rajasthan, has been named the governor of Assam, while Shiv Pratap Shukla and CP Radhakrishnan have been named the governors of Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand, respectively.

As for the governor of Chhattisgarh, it was announced that Biswa Bhusan Harichandran, who previously served as the governor of Andhra Pradesh, had been appointed.

He will be succeeded by retired Supreme Court Justice Syed Abdul Nazeer. On January 4, 2023, he gave up his position as a Supreme Court justice.

The Triple Talaq case, the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid dispute case, the demonetisation case, and a ruling that the right to privacy is a basic right were all major decisions in which Justice Nazeer participated.

Ganesan was an active Governor in Manipur, and he was also one of the few who had moved his vote to the state in which he worked. Six months after moving to Imphal, he registered to vote in the Imphal West district's Sagolband seat. He was known to visit people, tour areas, and discuss government projects when in Manipur. During the Covid-19 epidemic, he received much recognition for organising an interactive programme with religious leaders to get their support for a successful vaccination push.
