The Election Commission of India is faced with a challenging task of
identifying the “real” Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) among multiple
factions claiming legitimacy. To resolve the dispute, the poll panel is
contemplating a three-test approach that may include examining membership
numbers, party structure, and internal decision-making processes. The NCP
has been embroiled in an internal power struggle, with different factions
staking claims to the party’s leadership. This move by the Election
Commission aims to bring clarity and establish the legitimate
representative of the NCP, which holds significant political influence. The
decision will have far-reaching implications for the party’s future and the
political landscape in the state or states where the NCP operates.
