In the event that the Ministry declares elections invalid after a newly elected municipal council has taken office, this government shall remain in office until new elections have taken place and any complaints which may have arisen been ruled on.
Once the electoral term of the outgoing municipal council is concluded and until the legally elected municipal council takes office pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the sitting government may not carry out any payments nor undertake any obligations on behalf of the municipality except as authorised in the budget, by law or by general administrative provisions, or by authorisation from the Ministry.
