It is reported that the proposed formation of the KNC is aimed at facilitating a peaceful dialogue with the Government, drawing inspiration from Naga peace talks on Naga Unification, Southern Nagaland or Naga sovereignty.

It may be mentioned that NSCN (IM) has been holding peace talks with the Government of India since August 1, 1997 after signing a ceasefire agreement.

The source went on to state that Kuki-Zo people are working to float a new political party - Kuki-Zo National Party (KZNP) by abolishing Kuki People Alliance (KPA) which currently has two MLAs, Kimneo Hangshing and Chinlunthang in the State Assembly (now suspended) .

According to the source, the KZNP plans to contest in all 10 Kuki-Zo Assembly Constituencies in place of KPA in the 2027 State Assembly elections to address their grievances.
