INDIVIDUALS seeking to establish new political parties are continuing to submit their applications to the Union Election Commission, clearly specifying their intended party names. As of today, a total of 27 groups have applied for permission to establish political parties.

Among the applicants, the Peace and Development Party and the New Generation Wamsanu Party comply with the Political Parties Registration Law and its relevant rules. Accordingly, the Commission granted permission for their formation today.

However, the application of the People Power for Democracy Party (PPD) was rejected after scrutiny by the relevant ministries revealed that it did not meet the requirements set out in Section 4 of the Political Parties Registration Law. Similarly, the Li Shaw National Party was found not to comply with Section 6 of the same law. Based on the decision of the Union Election Commission’s plenary meeting 30/2025, both applications were formally denied using Form C under the Political Party Registration Rule.

To date, 21 political parties have been granted formation approval, while five applications have been rejected.
