Political parties in Hasanistan

Hasanistan is a democracy with a multi-party system, with the right to create political parties enshrined in the Constitution. The first political party in Hasanistan was established on 5 May 2013. The three traditional major parties of Hasanistan are considered to be the Nomad Party, the Progressive Party and the Northern League. Other parties have also existed and have at times been more powerful than the traditional parties. Since the introduction of political parties, there have also been officials who have remained independent from partisan affiliation.

An independent politician or candidate does not affiliate with a political party while holding a political office or contesting an election. The right to be unaffiliated with a political party has been traditionally protected by the Constitution of Hasanistan, alongside the right to establish and join political parties as part of the right to free association. There are many reasons why an individual may not affiliate with a political party, such as having political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party, opposing the concept of political parties, being expelled from a political party, being unable to stand for a political party due to legal issues or the political office being required to be non-partisan by law. Independents may be members of a parliamentary group, technical group, electoral alliance or a coalition government, although groups of nominal independents can effectively function as political parties (such as Belaya Rus in Belarus until 2023 or the Civic Platform in Poland). Some political offices in Hasanistan are customarily non-partisan.

Prior to the establishment of the first political party in Hasanistan on 2 May 2013, the government was de facto non-partisan. Following the establishment of a multi-party system, non-partisan national electoral politics was uncommon and no independent candidate stood in the first democratic presidential or local elections. Despite speculation over independent candidates contesting the 2014 and 2017 presidential elections, the first independent candidate to both contest and win an election was the Islamist Mustafa Abu Ali ibn Qasim in the February 2020 general election.

Following constitutional changes after a 2018 referendum during the Fourth Hasanistani Republic, the President was required to be politically independent and cut all ties with political parties upon being inaugurated. The Hasanistani monarchy has been politically independent during its periods of existence. A number of government ministers have been independent politicians while in office.

Ardajan implemented a ban on political parties for local offices in 2023, leading to the dissolution of the Democratic Party of Ardajan and Yeni Ardajan. The new regulation dictates that candidates for the Megyis must be non-partisan, although Hasanistani national parties are permitted to endorse candidates (the endorsement would be stated on the ballot e.g. "John Doe endorsed by the Progressive Party"). This directive is explicitly outlined in the Ardajan Supreme Law under Article 12, focusing on legislative and electoral processes.
