The candidate argues that Araujo does not conform to the infamous morality required by the constitution.
Nuestro Tiempo’s lawyer and candidate, Bertha María Deleón, filed a lawsuit against the candidacy of Walter Araujo of Nuevas Ideas, because the Supreme Electoral Tribunal had not yet ruled on the challenge she previously raised.
“I believe that the magistrates who registered Walter have not correctly assessed Article 126 of the Constitution, which governs the requirements to be a deputy and establishes notorious fairness as one of the requirements,” he said.
The lawyer announced that she has filed a lawsuit in the Constitutional Chamber of the CSJ because, in her opinion, the candidate of New Ideas does not meet any of the requirements set out in the Constitution, and therefore requests the candidacy to be canceled.
