Registrar of Political Parties Ana Mataiciwa has rejected the application for registration by the proposed ‘NextGen Alliance Party’.

In her assessment of the application, the Registrar found that the Party failed to meet the minimum required members for the Northern, Western and Central Divisions.

Mataiciwa says as such, the application has not been approved, and the decision has been formally communicated to the representatives of the Party, outlining the legal requirements that have not been met.

Mataciwa says the FEO remains committed to providing guidance to applicants to ensure that processes are understood and properly followed, while upholding the integrity of the political party registration framework.
