Garowe (PP) — The Transitional Puntland Electoral Commission has extended the period for meeting the criteria to become a fully registered political association.
In March TPEC publicised names seventeen political associations that have temporarily met the criteria to become a registered political organisation in Puntland. TPEC urged political organisations to fulfill the rest of the criteria by the end of April.
In a statement shared with the media yesterday, TPEC extended the deadline to the end of June 2020 in response to health emergency caused by Covid-19. TPEC instructed political organisations not to hold meetings with the public. Public meetings facilitate spread of Covid-19.
TPEC’s statement backs up calls from Puntland health authorities to make the public aware of actions that increase likelihood of becoming infected with the Covid-19.
