The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday announced the delisting of 334 Registered Unrecognised Political Parties (RUPPs).
Of the 2,854 RUPPs, 2,520 remain. This delisting exercise is part of a comprehensive and continuous strategy of the Election Commission to clean up the electoral system.
"The Commission, after considering all the facts and recommendations of the CEOs, has delisted 334 RUPPs. Now, out of the total of 2854 RUPPs, 2520 are remaining," EC said in a statement, adding, "These RUPPs will now not be eligible to avail any benefit under the provisions of Section 29B and Section 29C of the RP Act, 1951 read with the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961 and the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968. Any party aggrieved by this order can appeal to the Commission within 30 days of the order."
The Election Commission stated that there are six national parties and 67 state parties registered with the ECI. According to the guidelines for registering political parties, a party that does not contest elections continuously for six years will be removed from the list of registered parties.
Earlier, in June 2025, ECI had directed the Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) of states and Union Territories to conduct verification enquiries of 345 RUPPs regarding compliance with the said conditions.
The CEOs conducted enquiries, issued show-cause notices to these RUPPs and provided each party an opportunity to respond and present their case through personal hearings.
