The Electoral Commission (EC) has begun inspection of all registered political party offices across the country to ensure that they operate in accordance with the Political Parties Law.
This forms part of the mandates by the Commission as enshrined in the Political Parties Act 2000 (Act 574) to inspect political party offices and monitor their activities, it stated.
