The People’s Roundtable has called on the political parties contesting the April 28 general election to publicly commit to passing campaign finance legislation should they be elected to Parliament.

In a statement, the group's convenor, Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) political leader David Abdulah, said any parties elected to Parliament must revive the Representation of the People Amendment Bill of 2020, which addresses campaign finance, and have it passed into law before the next local government or general elections.

Abdulah said there have been situations in the current general election campaign which underscores the need for political parties to disclose their financing.
