In the first phase of this exercise, ECI had delisted 334 RUPPs including four RUPPs from Goa namely Goa Nationalist Party, Goa Praja Party, Goemcarancho Otree Asro and United Goans Party.

The following 4 RUPPs from Goa have been delisted in the second round of the exercise, which shall be continued with the objective of cleaning up the political system. The names of these RUPPs are Goa Su-raj Party, 383-A, Pirazona Moira, Bardez, Goa, Goa Vikas Party, Laxmi Sadan, Ground Floor, Near Journalist Colony, Porvorim, Sattari Yuva Morcha, House No.48, Kankire, Guleli, Sattari and United Goans Democratic Party, first floor, Casa Dos Aliados, Behind Gomant Vidya Niketan, Abbe Faria Road, Margao.

In order to ensure that no party is unduly de-listed, the CEOs of the respective States/UTs have been directed to issue show-cause notices to such RUPPs following which, these parties will be given an opportunity through a hearing by the concerned CEOs. The ECI will take the final decision on the delisting of any RUPP based on the reports of the CEOs.
