Kangpokpi, September 28 2021:
Thangminlen Kipgen, president incharge KSO-GHQ, has said that the election and decision of KSO-GHQs are null and void.
Thangminlen Kipgen alleged the Standing committee of Kuki Students' Organisation General Heaquarters (KSO-GHQs), which was also the election commission in the recently conducted election of KSO-GHQs, of gross misconduct, favoritism and for being biased instead of maintaining neutrality.
He also alleged the Standing committee of openly campaigning for candidates of their choice, which goes against their duty of being the election commission.
"The outcome of the botch-up election is unacceptable to the people", asserted Thangminlen Kipgen.
He added that he had served KSO for more than a decade in various capacities and was given the charge of president incharge of KSO-GHQs after the incumbent president vacated the post on April 2021 .
He said that by conventional practice the president in charge was regarded as the putative President for the next term.
He added that members of the Standing committee had vacated their posts just after the election and new members were appointed to pass on the blame.
He recalled that in fact, ATSUM had to face the ignominy of split years back because of their meddlesomeness.
It was mutually agreed between ANSAM and KSO-GHQ executives to install a new ATSUM executive as it was dormant for many years due to the tussle for leadership.
Once the matter reached the ears of the de facto KSO standing committee the executives of KSO-GHQ were coerced to back down from the agreement leaving us red-face in front of our counterpart, ANSAM.
The result was the split of ATSUM, he added.
He said that to ensure that they can continue to pull the strings of KSO-GHQ, the present standing committee members had procrastinated their tenure to a ridiculous tenure of almost ten years and keeping the legitimate members at bay while adding that the present impasse is also the handiwork of the standing committee all because they want to install learn leaders who are amenable to their dictates and dance to their tunes.
He continued that as such there is an imperative need to cut down the KSO-GHQ standing down to size and show them that their true role is advisory, not decision making.
He further said that all the recent decisions and maneuvering of the standing committee stand null and void.
