The HDP filed appeals against the SEC decisions to the SEC – which dismissed them – and to the Constitutional Court – which considered that it had no jurisdiction to hear such appeals. Appeals were then made by elected mayoral candidates individually, which are pending at the Constitutional Court. Representatives of the Court informed the rapporteurs that a decision on the admissibility of the latter appeals had not yet been made. It is to be noted that pursuant to Article 79, paragraph 2(2) of the Constitution “no appeal shall be made to any authority against the decisions of the Supreme Election Council”. The Constitutional Court had previously stated that SEC decisions could therefore not be subject to an individual application to the Court. There is accordingly at least a real prospect that the Constitutional Court will in due course reject these appeals as also falling outside its jurisdiction. The rapporteurs were informed that for that reason, one of the candidates for municipal councillor whose mandate was also denied by the SEC had submitted an application direct to the European Court of Human Rights where the case is currently pending.
