Bhaichung Bhutia was serving as the working president of the Hamro Sikkim Party (HSP), the regional party that he had founded in 2018.
Bhaichung Bhutia, the former Indian football captain, is set to join the Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) party, the main opposition party in the state led by former Chief Minister Pawan Kumar Chamling, ending a week-long speculation about his political future.
Mr Bhutia is currently serving as the working president of the Hamro Sikkim Party (HSP), the regional party that he founded in 2018. He was the party's face in the 2019 assembly elections but lost his bid to win a seat.
The 'Sikkimese Sniper' said that he is in talks with the SDF about merging HSP with the party. He has also said that he will consult with other party leaders and members before making a final decision.
