PAN convened its Political Commission to analyze the ruling of the Constitutional Court that rejected the appeal filed by the party against the invalidity of the last election of its national bodies. The meeting took place after the court decision that called into question the internal process for choosing the leadership.
The Constitutional Court decided to dismiss the appeal filed by PAN, confirming the invalidity of the election that took place at the party's last congress. This decision represents a new obstacle for the party's internal structure.
PAN's spokesperson, Inês Sousa Real, sees her election compromised by this decision. The validity of her mandate is now in question, which may imply the need to repeat the internal electoral process.
The party thus faces a situation of uncertainty regarding its leadership, and must now decide on the next steps to follow after the judicial confirmation of the irregularity of the process that elected its national bodies.
