The number of parties registered with the Election Commission has reached 125. Similarly, 17 applications for party registration received since the last fiscal year and the Gen-G movement are pending with the Commission.

With the announcement of the election for the House of Representatives, people from the old to the new generation are preparing to form parties and compete in the elections.

After the election was announced, 3 new parties have been registered with the Election Commission. The Shram Sanskriti Party led by Dharan Sub-metropolitan City Mayor Harkaraj Rai, the Rastriya Janmukti Party, which split from the Nepal Janamukti Party, and the Janaswaraj Party, which split from the Janmat Party, have been registered with the Commission.

Of the 10 applications filed since the Gen-G movement, the party led by Rai has received a certificate, while another party has filed a petition to not proceed with the process, due to which the Commission is yet to decide on 8 applications. The Shram Sanskriti Party led by Dharan Mayor Rai received a party registration certificate on Sunday.

Senior Advocate Surendra Bhandari had filed an application for registration of the Nepal Nagarik Party, but the Commission postponed it after he filed another petition to not proceed with the process. The 2 newly added parties were registered with the Commission after the party split.

More parties are in the process of being registered within a few days, while the Commission is yet to decide on 9 applications filed for party registration in the last fiscal year. The process has not progressed on those applications as they have not completed the necessary documents.

Yagya Bhattarai, head of the political party management division of the commission, said that the work of studying the eight applications received for registration of new parties and collecting the necessary documents is currently underway. The Communist Party of Nepal led by Netra Bikram Chand (Biplav), the Dynamic Democratic Party led by Buddha Air owner Birendra Basnet with Dinesh Raj Prasai as its president, and the Nepal Lever Party led by Gopilal Neupane are in the registration process.

Similarly, Ajay Kumar Rai has moved forward the registration process of the Rastriya Parivartan Party, Hira Prasad Seti has moved forward the registration process of the Rastriya Gen-G Party, and Resham Chaudhary has moved forward the registration process of the Nagarik Unmukti Party Nepal. He has started the process of registering a new party after the controversy over the Nagarik Unmukti Party did not end. Former ambassador Nawaraj Subedi, a former leader of the Janamorcha, has applied for the registration of the Nawayug Party. Earlier, in Shrawan, Gyan Bahadur Tamang had applied for the registration of the Ujjaya Nepal Party.

Commission spokesperson Narayan Prasad Bhattarai says that the commission is working quickly on the applications received for party registration. ‘One party has already received the certificate. The documents that have not been received have been requested for the applications. The documents that have been received are being studied,’ he said. ‘Time is running out now. Those who wish to participate in the upcoming elections should obtain the party registration certificate soon.’

The commission has already published a schedule for parties wishing to participate in the House of Representatives elections to be held on 21 Falgun. According to the election schedule published by the commission, parties will have to register for the House of Representatives elections from 1 to 10 Mangsir. For that, spokesperson Bhattarai said that the party registration certificate should be obtained by 30 Kartik.
