Jakarta – No parties have registered for the 2014 elections since the Law and Human Rights Ministry opened its doors for the verification process more than six weeks ago, an official says.

Central Java National Unity and Community Protection Agency chief Agus Tusono told a discussion in Semarang on Sunday that the Political Parties Law stipulated that parties wishing to stand in the 2014 general elections must register at the ministry between Jan. 17 and Aug. 22, as reported by kompas.com.

The verification of a party might take up to 45 days, and would entail verification that a party was a legal entity and a participant in the general elections. After verification, another 15 days would be needed to issue an official letter authorizing the party to run in the election, Agus said.
