Previously, to make a political party, you had to submit a long piece of paper to the Daliašiai Political Party Committee and wait about six weeks for them to approve it. They only approved one in the past: the centrist party which had been requested for around 30 years before that in different forms. The DPPC did not really like the idea of more than two parties, "You're either left or right, even for centrists, you usually lean one way or the other" said the CEO of DPPC. However, they became controversial and over 35% of people running for members of parliament ran as independents to protest. Finally on April 21 at 11:00PM Dalia Standard Time, the DPPC announced they are shutting down, after president Jonas Andris passed through parliament that people could create parties without the DPPC's approval. "It is clear we have too much power over the politics of today, and that people would prefer a less authoritarian way of deciding the political parties of our country. Please do not go overboard and create already created parties as we now that there will be a huge flock of parties after people know we're gone." said the CEO of DPPC.
