ECI Proposes Delisting of Tripura’s INPT in Show-Cause Notice

The commission says INPT has ceased to function after not contesting elections since 2018, triggering the procedural delisting process.

ECI serves show cause notice to INPT, asking it why the party shall not be delisted

Overview

  • The notice was issued on August 14 via the Information & Cultural Affairs department, giving INPT an opportunity to explain before any formal withdrawal.
  • INPT must submit a written representation with an affidavit from its president or general secretary by August 21.
  • A hearing is scheduled for 3 pm on August 28 at the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer in Agartala.
  • Commission records indicate INPT fielded no candidates in the 2018 and 2023 elections, leading the ECI to view the party as defunct.
  • If delisted, INPT would lose its reserved electoral symbol and formal party status, cementing its de facto merger with the Tipra Motha Party.
