The Administrative Court recalled that its decision was final

The Administrative Court issued a press release today, August 30, 2024, regarding the outcome of an appeal related to the candidates for the presidential elections of October 6, 2024. The text contains a sentence that appears to be addressed directly to the Independent High Electoral Authority (Isie) of the presidency, Farouk Bouasker.

« It should be noted that, according to the provisions of the electoral law, the decision of the plenary session of the Administrative Court is final and cannot be appealed, even to appeal. “, the press release said. This statement was made in response to Farouk Bouasker’s statement of August 29, 2024. President Issi considers Issi the only guarantor of the electoral process. He confirmed that this body will review the judgments issued by the administrative judiciary and will study the arguments and elements that prompted these decisions and then decide on the final list of presidential candidates. This has triggered a storm of criticism, claiming that the final decision lies with the Administrative Court. Even Rabeh Kraifi, known for his support for the July 25 process, holds this view.

As for the rest of the press release, the Administrative Court announced that it had received six appeals related to the publication of the preliminary list of candidates for the presidential elections of October 6, 2024. Three of the appeals have been accepted. These are Imed Daïmi, Mondher Zenaidi and Abdellatif Mekki, who are therefore officially rejoined to the list of candidates. Two appeals were rejected due to formal defects. The last one was accepted in form but rejected due to substantive defects. The other accepted candidates are Ayachi Zammel, Zouhair Maghzaoui and Kaïs Saïed.
