November 28 Local Elections: Reasons behind the rejection of candidacy files

The National Independent Authority for Elections has begun notifying political parties and independent lists of its decisions regarding the candidacy files for the upcoming November 28 local elections. The rejections are primarily based on requirements related to the moralization of political life and the criteria stipulated in Article 184 of the Electoral Code, specifically concerning the influence of illicit business circles on the electoral process. As the review of files continues, some candidates have expressed concerns over the legal justifications used and are preparing to file appeals with administrative courts. While there has been speculation regarding the role of political nomadism in these rejections, the authority had previously indicated that this practice is permitted in local elections, leaving the exact impact of these factors on the current decisions to be clarified.
