KATHMANDU, 04 August 2021, (TON): The Election Commission has revoked the registration of 41 political parties.
According to Raj Kumar Shrestha, spokesperson of the EC “the registration has been revoked after the parties failed to present their audit report for three consecutive years. Meeting of the EC decided that the names, flags and symbols of the political parties, whose registration has been cancelled, will not be allowed to be used by any other party for one year from the date of cancellation.”
After the registration of 41 parties has been revoked with effect from Wednesday, only 95 parties remain registered in the commission. Registered political parties are required to keep an account of their income and expenditure and submit an audit of their income and expenditure to the Commission within six months after the end of the financial year.
