The meeting of the Union Election Commission and the political parties that have been approved for registration was held yesterday afternoon at the meeting hall of the Union Election Commission office.
Union Election Commission Chairman U Ko Ko and officials from 43 political parties attended the meeting.
At the ceremony, UEC Chair U Ko Ko said that he would spare no effort with the political parties to hold the next election successfully.
He said that in accordance with the amended and enacted Political Parties Registration Law, the commission is preparing the rules for the registration of political parties and publishing them.
If there are any requirements for opening party offices, the commission coordinates with relevant ministries and region/ state governments. The collection, maintenance, and use of political parties’ funds should also be appropriately documented. Section 17 (b) of the Political Parties Registration Law stipulates that party funds shall be used following the order or instructions issued by the commission. According to this provision, the commission will release the necessary instructions as soon as possible, and the parties must use them as per the instructions. The election will be successful only if the commission, political parties and the voters work together.
The commission must supervise the political parties under the laws and regulations enacted by the commission and assist the political parties’ needs under the law. For all those who have the right to vote, officials must coordinate and cooperate with the relevant ministries to ensure that the voter list is complete and correct, and voter education activities must also be coordinated with the appropriate organizations.
For the parties to be strong and for the voters to vote for their party and their parliamentary candidates, it is necessary to conduct a proper election campaign. To get the correct voting choice of the voters, people must choose only those who are really qualified to choose the candidates who will compete in parliament.
He added that the commission will supervise the election according to the laws and regulations enacted to ensure free and fair elections.
Afterwards, the persons responsible for the event had discussions, and the UEC Chair clarified and gave a closing speech to conclude the meeting. — MNA/ KZL
