Political parties have slammed the regime for signalling a delay in lifting the political ban following the discovery of an arms cache. They are urging the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to lift the ban on political activities as the deadline for political parties to file updated membership reports is on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the provision of the organic law on political parties requires parties to update their membership database within 90 days. He defended the NCPO's right to decide whether to lift the ban on political activities. He said political parties can find ways to update their membership databases without convening all members.
