The Court found that the applicant failed to demonstrate urgency and real, imminent risk of irreparable harm, given the delay between the electoral decree and the application. Measures sought overlapped with prior judgments already ordering legislative and regulatory changes. Requests regarding the president's mandate and participation of opposition candidates were either matters for the merits or too vague. The Court thus rejected the request for provisional measures.

  • Provisional measures
  • Independence of judiciary
  • Electoral process
  • Non-discrimination
  • Freedom of expression
  • Freedom of association
