Supreme Court rejects Peynado petition

The Supreme Court announced yesterday that the appeal to annul the decision of the Litigation Court of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) had expired and that the challenge on Eduardo Estrella’s nomination as the official PRSC candidate was dismissed. The 16-judge panel decided that as Peynado had not summoned Estrella within the required 30-day period, the case was tossed out. Lawyers for the PRSC party had requested that the court reject the appeal last 13 November in accordance with the law.
