The New Generation Party has been de-registered as a political party with immediate effect following continued breach of the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding & Disclosures) Act, 2013.

Acting Registrar of Political Parties Ana Mataiciwa says that not only did the party breach the Act, they also did not remedy the breach, which led to the de-registration of the party.

Mataiciwa further says noting that since the party has not remedied the breach and in exercising section 19(5) of the Act, the New Generation Party is hereby de-registered.

On 17 May 2023, the Acting Registrar of Political Parties found that the party was in breach of section 26(2) of the Act.

FEO says consequently, to ensure compliance with the law, the Acting Registrar, in accordance with section 19(1) of the Act, issued the party with a notice to remedy the breach and in exercise of the discretion under section 19(3), the Acting Registrar suspended the party until it had remedied the same.

They say in the same notice, in accordance with section 19(2) of the Act, the Acting Registrar clearly outlined the particulars of the breach and then directed that the party remedy the breach within 60 days or show cause why the party should not be de-registered.

FEO says at the end of the 60 days period on 15th July, it was noted that the Party still did not remedy the breach and it was given a further 14 days from 17th July to show cause why it should not be de-registered.

They say the Acting Registrar received a response from the Party yesterday but the response was not satisfactory.

They further say the party has still not submitted the audited account for the year 2022 as required under section 26(2) of the Act and given the above, the party has failed to remedy the breach despite being given the requisite time under the law.

There are now eight registered political parties.
