Ahead of the Goa Legislative Assembly elections due in coming March, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has given its formal approval to Goa Forward as a political party.
"I am directed to state that Election Commission of India after having considered your application dated January 20, 2016 for registration of Goa Forward Party as a political party and the documents produced in support of the statements, has registered the party as a political party under section 29 A of the Representation of the People's Act, 1951 on and with effect from August 5, 2016," says the letter by ECI's Delhi office.
Reacting to this, party spokesman Durgadas Kamat said, "Its time to take Goa Forward. We are providing political alternative to the state which will fulfill aspirations of true Goans."
He said that the party which is mentored by independent legislator Vijai Sardesai would bring in change in the state post-2017 polls.
