WHAT DOES NONPARTISAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nonpartisanism

In political science, nonpartisanism is a lack of affiliation with a political party. Some organizations claiming to be nonpartisan are truly such; others, particularly in the USA, are nominally nonpartisan but in fact closely follow the policies of a political party. While the dictionary definition of partisan includes adherents of a party, cause, person, etc., in many cases nonpartisan refers specifically to political party connections rather than being the strict antonym of "partisan", and an organisation described as nonpartisan can have many decidedly controversial policies.

Definition of nonpartisan in the English dictionary

The definition of nonpartisan in the dictionary is not partisan or aligned, esp not affiliated to, influenced by, or supporting any one political party.
