ISLAMABAD: Despite its proscription by the federal government three months ago, the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) continues to function freely as it enjoys the status of a normal legal political party given it is registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The name of the TLP figures on entry number 121 of the ECP’s list of registered political parties. Unless it is de-registered by the ECP after holding hearings on an official notification or request from the proscribing authority – the federal government in this case – the ECP will not strike off the TLP as a registered political party.
The upshot of the TLP’s continued registration with the ECP is that it can’t be prohibited from contesting any elections. The TLP has sponsored a large number of candidates in the upcoming elections for the cantonment boards on September 12 as it had done in the previous by-polls for the national and provincial assemblies.
