Election Commission Cleanses Political Landscape: A Wave of De-listing
The Election Commission has de-listed 474 more unrecognised political parties that failed to contest elections over the past six years. This action follows an earlier purge of 334 parties and forms part of a broader effort to clean up the country's political system ahead of the Bihar polls.

The Election Commission (EC) has intensified its efforts to streamline the political landscape by de-listing an additional 474 registered unrecognised political parties. These parties have failed to contest elections consistently over the past six years.
This move is part of a larger initiative, following the removal of 334 such parties in August, bringing the total de-listed to 808. The initiative is designed to ensure political transparency and accountability, especially with the Bihar polls on the horizon.
Officials noted that the EC's ongoing efforts aim to eliminate defunct parties that do not comply with election norms or file the necessary financial reports, thereby enhancing the integrity of the political system.
