Election Commission asks parties to register

KATHMANDU,

The Election Commission (EC) on Monday invited more political parties interested to take part in the CA poll to apply for party registration in accordance with Article 142 of the interim constitution.

The constitution states that any political party not represented in the interim parliament has to produce 10,000 signatures from its supporters to register with the Election Commission (EC). The Election Commission (EC) has said political parties which were already registered for CA polls with the EC need not apply for registration. To date, Election Commission (EC) has recognised 61 parties and given them election symbol.
