“CEOs conducted enquiries, issued show-cause notices to these RUPPs and provided each party an opportunity to respond... 334 RUPPs... have been found not complying with the above conditions...,” an EC statement said.
The Election Commission on Saturday said it has delisted 344 Registered Unrecognised Political Parties (RUPPs) for failing to comply with the conditions for registration as political parties under the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
As per the Act, parties have to give details, including names, addresses and details of office-bearers, during the registration and have to inform the Election Commission if there are changes in the details. The parties will also be delisted if they don’t contest any elections for six years.
In an order passed on Saturday, the EC said these 334 parties were “found to be non-existent at their registered address after a physical verification” and had also not contested any elections since 2019.
In June, the EC had asked the Chief Electoral Officers (CEO) of states and Union Territories to verify if 345 RUPPs were meeting these conditions. “CEOs conducted enquiries, issued show-cause notices to these RUPPs and provided each party an opportunity to respond… 334 RUPPs… have been found not complying with the above conditions…,” an EC statement said.
