The Constitutional Court delivered its verdict on Tuesday, March 12, by publishing its rulings on the disputes over the legislative election results of December 20, 2023. Of the 1,123 cases brought before it, the court declared 49 petitions admissible and founded. Thus, rejecting 525 other petitions judged inadmissible and 400 declared admissible but unfounded.

Furthermore, it recorded 21 cases of withdrawal. However, questions keep coming up in various conversations. How should those invalidated candidates who have never been part of previous legislatures, but nonetheless momentarily and involuntarily held this title and tasted some related benefits (immunity, honors, installation fees...) be referred to: Honorary Deputies, invalidated deputies? Should they be entitled to end-of-career allowances?
