Based on this, Parliament decides:

(2) In the absence of MoIA action, to empower the Prime Minister to unilaterally ratify an aspiring party’s registration documents after the seven-day initial filing period.

To fulfil this, Parliament projects the following expenses:
(1) None.

Further, Parliament projects the following administrative efforts:
(1) None.

To implement the above, Parliament passes:
