Section 17, The Political Parties Act, 2002

(1) Any association aggrieved by a decision of the Commission refusing its application for registration may appeal to the Supreme Court made up of three justices whose decision shall be given within thirty days of the hearing of the appeal. (2) An association may, instead of appealing directly to the Supreme Court under subsection (1), apply to the Commission to reconsider its decision not to register the association as a political party. (3) If the Commission refuses the application made to it under subsection (2) or fails to register the association as a political party within seven days of that application, the association may then appeal to the Supreme Court and subsection (1) shall apply, mutatis, mutandis.
