Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court granted an extraordinary review, setting aside the lower court's decision to annul the election without specifying the scope of new proceedings. The lower court held that a new election was unnecessary because the second candidate would automatically receive the mandate. The Supreme Court ruled that the law mandates the court to define the new election's scope and starting point, a duty that remains even if the outcome is predictable.
