INEC &DE REGISTRATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES.

INEC should rescind the deregistration order and ignore the unproductive political parties. They should be allowed to exist. INEC should rather take measures to ensure that public funds are not used to sustain their existence and that their existence does not hamper the political process. The issues should not be about deregistration which I believe is a violation of the right to freedom of association. The issues should be, should INEC give money to political parties for elections? If yes, which political parties should qualify for the subventions? Should every political party be on the Ballot paper? How can we reduce the confusion of having lengthy party names and logos on the Ballot Paper when only a few are known to the voter? These are the real issues”.
