The fee to register a political party in Somalia has risen from $500 under the previous committee to $10,000 under the current committee: 20 times higher, an increase of $9,500.
Key figures
- Previous committee: $500
- Current committee: $10,000
- Increase: $9,500, or 20 times higher
Why it matters
A $10,000 fee may be hard for smaller and newer political parties to pay, which could limit how many parties are able to register and take part in elections.
