Following weeks-long review of financial status and accounts of both the parties – Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) – the Election Commission said, they are eligible for contesting 2013 general elections.
The Commission has said that status of both the parties “remain unaffected”.
“We would like to state that the status of the parties will remain unaffected, after the financial liabilities are properly taken care. I would like put on record that PDP with major liabilities made utmost and genuine effort in resolving it,” said the Chief Election Commissioner, Kunzang Wangdi, as he also remembered to laud political contributions of former PDP President Sangay Ngedup.
PDP cleared the state loans weeks after the set deadline.
