The Aliança Nacional party filed a complaint against Judgment No. 13/08, which had rejected its candidacy for the legislative elections of 5 September 2008, arguing that its insufficient number of supporters resulted from material difficulties and external obstacles and that Angolan law breached SADC recommendations. The Court dismissed the complaint, holding that the difficulties alleged did not exclude the application of the law and that the electoral regime did not conflict with those recommendations.
