The season of briefcase political parties and brokers is here politicians, their acolytes and wheeler dealers are flocking the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties to craft new outfits.
Already, 220 applications have been lodged and 42 names reserved which if the registrar was to okay all would more than triple the number of new parties.
Add this to the current 90 registered parties, the number could easily rise to 352.
This clamour to register political parties two years to the 2027 General Election is unprecedented.
