As a fall out of an interaction of the senior executive members and some contesting candidates of the ongoing election of the assembly constituencies on Wednesday, a broader level meeting of the central executive members, chairmen of the District unit/representatives with the contesting candidates was conducted on Sunday.

With the re-poll at 28-Nampe polling booth under 21-Koloriang AC and 6-Gimba under 20-Tali AC slated on 21st May, the members present decided to pre-empt any scope of post-poll violence, loss of lives and properties in the 14 assembly constituencies inhabited by the community with special emphasis on the Nyishi heartland-the capital complex.
After going into the pros and cons, the following resolutions were adopted in the first meeting of its kind as under-
(i) All the contesting candidates shall be responsible for maintaining post-poll peace and tranquillity in their respective constituencies;
(ii) The Nyishi Elite Society shall explore formation of an appropriate Peace Monitoring Committee (PMC) as and when situations demands for each zone/constituencies involving the candidates (or) representatives; and,
