Legal Question on Candidate Eligibility
#15

The election wasn't suspended. The Cabinet enacted an executive policy to prevent anybody from holding a Cabinet office until the disputed election results were settled by the court. The court didn't suspend or prolong an election-- it invalidated an incorrect result, and I was immediately instated as MoFA and the executive policy expired (afaik).

That is not legal (or historical) precedent for suspending an election in order to prolong the nomination period just in case Belschaft gets his security threat declaration overturned in the Assembly. Which is, by the way, not a sure thing and is only passing by a 1-vote razor thin margin. So acting under the assumption that it will pass for sure is a bit premature.

Those are two entirely different scenarios.
