Challenges to resolutions


The resolutions of the governing bodies of political parties in the process of formation and registration can be challenged as follows: any of the members of these governing bodies can challenge them. Reports from TSE representative(s), among other items, shall serve as evidence for ruling on such challenges. The provisional executive committee shall be responsible for ruling on challenges, except when the resolutions in question are those of the supreme governing body. Decisions taken in this respect by this party instance can be appealed to the Electoral Registry within three days of the notification of the ruling. The same also applies if the challenge is to resolutions of the supreme governing body. The result of the appeal to this electoral body can be appealed to the TSE within forty-eight hours of its notification for definitive settlement.
