The Registrar of Political Parties has asked the three biggest former political parties to explain anomalies in their applications to register for the 2014 elections.
The proposed Fiji Labour Party (FLP) has been formally asked to explain alleged claims of impersonation in the registration of its members in Ba.
It’s also been asked to explain why details of its members have been incorrectly stated on its application, including some names that do not exist in the Electronic Voter Registration Database.
The proposed Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA) has been formally asked to explain why details of members of the proposed party are also incorrect, including some names that do not exist in the EVR Database.
And the proposed National Federation Party (NFP) has been asked to explain alleged impersonation claims relating to the registration of members in Kadavu. The proposed NFP has also been asked to explain anomalies in the registration of members, again including names that do not exist in the EVR Data Base.
The Registrar of Political Parties, Mohammed Saneem, said the three parties had until midday on April 19th to submit their formal responses to his office.
“We have dealt with this completely transparently under the principle of natural justice. I have given all of the evidence in my possession to the three proposed parties so they know precisely what they have to respond to,” he said.
