During the Second Statutory Congress of the CUAH (Comunidad Urbana Autogestionaria de Huaycán) in April 1991, the Shining Pathists were politically defeated by the delegates. The delegates agreed to organize in "mass self-defense" against drug addiction, delinquency and violence. In response to this political defeat, the PCP-SL called an armed strike for April 29 and 30, 1991, and attempted to sabotage the May elections, which were still held with the majority support of the population and the guarantees requested from the National Police. This congress marked a turning point in the organized resistance of Huaycán against Shining Path infiltration.
