Election Commission to recognise Aam Aadmi Party as State Party in Delhi
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with winning over 28/70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections met the eligibility criteria of Election Commssion to become a State Party.
The Aam Aadmi Party registered as a political party by the Election Commission in March 2013.
Some criteria for recognition of a Party a registered party has to fulfill any of the following conditions for recognition as a State Party:
A political party should secure at least six percent of the total valid votes polled during general election to a State Legislative Assembly and should, in addition, win at least two seats in that Assembly, or the party should win at least three percent of the total number of seats or three seats in the Legislative Assembly, whichever is more.
If a political party is recognised as a “State Party” in four or more States then it will automatically become a national party.
A party, which is recognised as a State or National party, loses its recognition if it performs poorly in the subsequent polls.
Under the liberalized criteria, one more clause has been added to provide that even if a Party fails to win any seat in a State in a general election to the Lok Sabha or Legislative Assembly of the State, the party will still be eligible for recognition as State Party if it secures 8 percent or more of the total valid votes polled in the State.
