Notes
  1. All political parties are banned as "un-Islamic". The Taliban is the only legal political force in the current regime.[1][2]
  2. The Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus asserts that it is an opposition party, but supports the presidency of Alexander Lukashenko nonetheless.
  3. See also Political status of Taiwan and One China
  4. Iran's parties must adhere to a religious system of governance.
  5. Independent politicians dominate Jersey's political system.
  6. Independent pro-monarchy politicians dominate Jordan's political system.
  7. Competing factions of the General People's Congress are in charge of different parts of the country in the course of the ongoing civil war. In North Yemen, the Houthi movement-aligned faction loyal to party founder Ali Abdullah Saleh only partially shares power with the movement.[4]
