Not a single one of the 144 political parties, including the National Citizen Party (NCP), hat applied for registration with the Election Commission (EC) has passed the initial screening process.
On Tuesday (July 15), EC Additional Secretary KM Ali Newaz announced that the Commission has begun issuing letters to inform political parties of the gaps and deficiencies identified in their applications.
Initially, 62 parties will receive these notices, with others to follow in the next phase.
The parties have been given 15 days from the date of notification to address the shortcomings and resubmit corrected documents.
The EC had earlier issued a public notice calling on political parties seeking registration to submit their applications by April 20.
However, after several parties – including the National Citizen Party (NCP) – requested more time, the deadline was extended to June 22.
By the final deadline, 144 parties had submitted a total of 147 applications for registration.
