NUP writes to Electoral Commission demanding inclusion in IPOD and NCF consultations

In a letter dated 17 September 2025, NUP Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya asked the Electoral Commission to ensure the party is included in IPOD and National Consultative Forum discussions on implementing the amended Political Parties and Organisations Act. Rubongoya said NUP was being illegally excluded and that decisions taken without it are null and void; ChimpReports links the move to the amended law tying public party funding to IPOD participation.
