SIX political parties have been suspended last month over their failure to comply with requirements of the Political Parties Integrity Act 2014.
That’s according to Acting Registrar of the Political Parties Commission, Glinson Galo.
“The parties failed to comply with section 51 of the Political Parties Integrity Act 2014,” he explained.
“Section 51. (l) The Registrar shall conduct a review of political parties listed in the Register at least 12 months before a general election is expected to take place, in order to determine the operational status of political parties.”

The country will now go to the polls early next year, after the Sogavare Government successfully pushed for its postponement from this year.
The suspended political parties are Youth All Urban Rural Party, National Transformation Party, Pan Melanesian Congress Party, United Democratic Party, People’s Progressive Party, and New Nation Party.
Galo explained the suspension is for three months, and if the parties still fail to make amends, they will be deregistered.
