Perspective
The State Administration Council enacted a new political party registration law on January 26, 2023, significantly increasing requirements for political parties. This law mandates parties to re-register within 60 days or face disbandment.[1]
Key requirements for national parties include:[citation needed]
- Recruiting 100,000 members within 90 days of registration (a 100-fold increase from the previous law's 1,000 members), later an amendment of the law in 5 March 2024 reduced party membership requirement to 50,000 members.
- Establishing offices in at least half of Myanmar's 330 townships within six months.
- Depositing 100 million kyats with a state-owned bank.
Below is a list of political parties that have been approved by the Union Election Commission (UEC) under the new 2023 political parties registration law, and are thus eligible to compete in the 2025 general election.[citation needed]
