Law of Political Parties have been amended in a way that ensures that political parties are responsible for debt incurred by the party.
The amendment states that the Elections Commission will investigate whether the dissolution of a political party is in accordance with Article 32 of the Law of Political Parties.
The amendment dictates that the group or person previously agreed upon to take responsibility for the repayment of a debt should personally take the responsibility in a situation of the dissolution of a political party where decisions need to made by the respective body of the party. The amendment also dictates that otherwise, the leader of the political party will have to take personal responsibility for the debt in such a situation. All these conditions for repaying a debt by a political party can therefore be enforced by the Elections Commission.
The amendment also dictated that the group or person responsible for repaying the debt should be approved by the Elections Commission. It was stated that political parties when complying with this decree should assign a responsible group or person and notify the Elections Commission of the information within a month.
The amendment by the Elections Commission also stated that if political parties failed to identify a responsible group or person as stated, the leader if the political party at the time of incurred debt is responsible for the repayment.
