All political parties are required to submit paperwork under the act to complete their registration as a legal entity before Saturday, Cheng said, adding that political groups should revise their charters before transforming into political parties. Ministry statistics showed that, as of Tuesday, 65 of 360 political parties on record had disbanded, while two parties had their registrations stricken and one had been abolished. Of the political parties, only the Democratic Progressive Party, the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and 44 others had completed the registration process. As the National Women’s League has decided not to become a political party, its NT$200 million (US$6.56 million) of ill-gotten party assets are to go to the government, Cheng said. Ministry protocols would determine how the ill-gotten assets in the league’s name would be processed, he said.
