Those who want to establish a political party apply to the Union Election Commission by stating the name of the party they wish to establish. To date, 27 groups have applied for the right to establish a party, and 22 have been allowed to establish.

Among these 22 parties, U Min Min Tun-led Peace and Development Party yesterday applied for registration as a political party to the Commission as per Rule 7 of the Political Parties Registration Rules within 30 days from the approval date.

To date, 15 out of 21 political parties have been approved for registration, and the remaining groups that have applied for registration permits are also under scrutiny.
