The Supreme Court dismissed the election committee's complaint against the Electoral Commission's refusal to accept its registration. The committee argued that the Electoral Commission's request to change the name was invalid because the party registration was not yet legally effective at the time of filing. The court ruled that the requirement for a distinct name applies regardless of the party's registration status and that accepting the committee's argument would violate the principle of equality before the law.
