Paragraph 88
 

(f) Most importantly, Decree no. 11199 of 10 June 2019 (and even more so Decree no. 12211 of 27 June 2019, fixing the new date – this decree was not even published) was not properly challenged before any court in main proceedings (neither before the Electoral College nor the Constitutional Court, as it may be). The President had no standing and was not heard in the proceedings before the CEC and the Electoral College. These bodies found his Decree invalid merely incidentally.
