Members of these political parties face the consequence of contesting the forthcoming elections as independent candidates.
Registrar of Political Parties, Dr Alphonse Gelu, said: “The current organic law states that you have to register first as an association and then you come and register as a political party”.
In a press conference yesterday, he said the office of the registry of political parties has discovered that 5 out of the 34 registered parties have been de-registered. This poses serious impacts on the preparations for the parties concerned.
