Meghalaya Issues Delisting Notices to Four Inactive Parties as Hearings Set for Sept. 3

The step reflects a nationwide Election Commission cleanup of dormant outfits under Section 29A with authority from Article 324.

Overview

  • The notices name Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement, Meghalaya Democratic Party, North East Social Democratic Party and Regional Democratic Secular Congress.
  • A review by the Election Department found none of the four fielded candidates in Assembly, Lok Sabha or bypolls since 2019.
  • Chief Electoral Officer BDR Tiwari directed each party to file written explanations with affidavits, constitutions and supporting documents by September 3 and to appear in person the same day.
  • The notice warns that failure to comply may result in deregistration without further communication.
  • The move aligns with the Election Commission’s broader drive that recently delisted 334 registered unrecognised parties and began proceedings against 476 more across India.
