IMPHAL, October 20: The Joint Students`™ Coordination Committee has warned today that any candidate ignoring the election code of conduct of the Students`™ Union 2015-16 election will be asked to withdraw their nomination and even if a candidate wins the election by ignoring the code, the candidate will be asked to resign.
Speaking to media persons at a press meet today at the AMSU Headquarter, convenor of the committee Jayentakumar Khuman said the all candidates must abide by the election code of conduct.

Elaborating on the election code of conduct 2015-16, he said all kinds of party, picnic, cinema, charity showing support to a candidate should be cancelled and candidates should not engage in distribution of pamphlets or posters or routines.
