Paragraph 34
 

The Law does not indicate if there is a possibility for an excluded candidate to appeal against the decision of a party congress. According to the new wording of paragraph 3 of Article 105, the CEC has five days after the decision of a party congress to exclude the candidate from the list of the party. The CEC does not have powers to check if the procedure in respect of (a) candidate(s) was in conformity with the party’s statute. In the absence of any procedure for complaints and appeals, it is questionable whether an interested party can have a court decision within the indicated timeframe.
