Dissolved parties
Political Party Bill
On March 12, 2013, President Waheed ratified a new 'Political Party Bill',[1] replacing the guidelines established in 2005, when a multi-party system was created in the country. The bill saw the raising of the minimum number of members required to register a political party from 3000 to 10,000. With the ratification of the bill, all political parties which did not have 10,000 members registered were dissolved.
The following is a list of parties dissolved under the new law:
