The National Federation Party has refused to reveal how much has been budgeted to do their campaigns for the September 17th general elections.

Leader Biman Prasad said many of their candidates may be sorting funds from family, friends overseas.


He added that he cannot divulge much details at the moment.


Under the Political Parties Decree, political parties may only be funded by membership fees and contributions from individuals and all sources of funding must be disclosed.

No funding may come from foreign governments or non government organization.

No funding can come from companies, nor can they provide services such as transport and accommodation, free or discount advertising or goods and services of any kind.

The decree says all spending on election campaigns must be declared.
