Such a decision and any new electoral calendar will have to be issued by the National Independent Electoral Commission (local CENIT), and by the transitional government.On the other side, the International Community does not approve any postponement of the presidential elections at all. The Electoral Commission’s situation is consequently quite tricky. If it does not postpone the presidential elections, it will have to argue with the local ruling power, leader of which longs for the longest possible reprieve.

Since no satisfying settlement is yet to be found, the Special Electoral Court acknowledged the stumbling block as a legal case of absolute necessity.
