Yesterday, the Constitutional Court agreed to consider petitions from Senate election candidates regarding four disputed provisions of the organic law governing the poll. However, the court did not see any immediate need for an injunction, as it did not anticipate significant repercussions from proceeding with the Senate poll. Additionally, the Election Commission (EC), which oversees the election, is authorized to intervene to avert any issues. At the heart of the debate are Sections 36, 40(3), 41(3), and 42(3) of the Senate election law. Section 36 pertains to the candidates’ self-introduction, while the other sections involve voting across the same group and professional groups at district, provincial, and national levels.

The court also directed state agencies to submit their opinions within five days of receiving the order,…

However, the FDA was less than enchanted, declaring these proclamations to be exaggerated and unfounded. As a result, Mick and Benz are expected to make…
