In exercise of NSF constitution Article 26, the Election Commission of Naga Students Federation (2015-2017) and resolution of 1st Extra Ordinary Federal Assembly NSF 2015-2017, the Election Commission is pleased to notify the election code of conduct and the minutes of the assembly for information to all the intending candidates and federating Unit(s), for strengthening the federation and smooth conduct of the election.
In the past, the election of the Naga Students Federation was characterized by a deep respect for the integrity of the process. An individual’s dynamism, character, vision and leadership qualities were the deciding essentials required for leading the Naga Students Federation. Unfortunately, over the years and due to the increasing influence of the present electoral and political practices such ideals and respect for the integrity of the NSF election process has been usurped by personal gains by individuals. It seems evident that the sole motive of many individuals is to use the NSF as a platform to further their own interest, rather than that of the common good. Consequently, this has affected the quality and true spirit of leadership in the NSF bringing into question the integrity and public trust and image of the Federation. For many of the leaders it seems no longer about serving the student community and upholding the principles of the Naga Students Federation. Recognizing this disturbing trend within the NSF, there is a need for an immediate intervention. (a) The Election Commission should put in place a mechanism to monitor the process. (b)The Election Commission should be empowered to nullify an intending candidate(s) or the Unit(s) if found violating the Election Code of Conduct.
Therefore exercising the resolution passed for smooth conduct of election, the election commission hereby appoint the following persons for monitoring the election code of conduct. 1. Mr. Vipopal Kintso, Ex president NSF, Chairman 2. Mr. Rs. Jollyson, former Speaker NSF, Member Secretary 3. Mr. Kenneth, Member
CODE OF CONDUCT OF ELECTION: The following will not be allowed in deeds or by words. 1. Muscle power 2. Monetary power 3. Coercion from within and without 4. Influence from any political party(s), organisation(s) or any agencies 5. Any action that is detrimental to the Article twenty seven of the constitution. The above code of conduct of election notification shall be strictly followed by all intending candidate(s) and Units; failing to do so shall invite disqualification and stringent action against the candidates and the units.
