The Election Commission (EC) is set to announce its decision today, Sunday, on whether candidates holding dual citizenship will be allowed to contest in the upcoming national elections. The appeal hearings began at 10 a.m., marking the final day for reviewing appeals from candidates whose nominations were previously rejected during the verification process by returning officers.
According to EC sources, most of the pending applications concern dual citizenship issues, and no decision has yet been made on these cases. On Saturday, the eighth day of hearings, the commission resolved 112 appeals, approving 45 and rejecting 37. Among the approved cases, 43 were appeals against nomination cancellations, while two were against accepted nominations. The revised election schedule set the appeal resolution period from January 10 to 18, with January 20 as the final date for candidate withdrawal.
The EC’s decision on dual citizenship candidates is expected to clarify eligibility rules ahead of the national parliamentary election process.
