EC Delists 344 Parties for Failing Registration Rules
The Election Commission removed 344 small political parties because they did not follow the rules to be a registered party.
These rules include providing accurate information about the party and its leaders.
The parties were given a chance to explain themselves, but they failed to meet the requirements.
The commission has the right to remove parties who do not contest in an election for 6 years.
This helps ensure only active and compliant parties remain registered.
The Election Commission delisted 344 Registered Unrecognized Political Parties (RUPPs).
The delisting occurred because the parties failed to comply with registration conditions.
RUPPs were given opportunities to respond to show-cause notices.
Parties must provide and update details including names, addresses, and office-bearer information.
Parties can be delisted for not contesting elections for six years.
