The Office of the President has told the Supreme Court that dissolving the House and appointing a former chief justice to lead the government were decisions taken only after all constitutional options had been exhausted.
In its written response, the President’s Office says the country was facing an “unusual situation” where normal constitutional processes could not function, and the steps were taken under the principle of necessity to protect national unity and democratic values.
The reply argues that reviving the dissolved House would go against the political environment, especially when preparations for elections were already in progress. It also notes that parties failed to present a workable majority despite repeated calls.
Citing past Supreme Court principles, the response maintains that actions taken during a constitutional deadlock gain judicial justification. The Office has thus requested the Court to dismiss the petitions challenging the President’s decisions.
