SummaryUnofficial

The Attorney General applied for a judicial declaration dissolving the Aliança Patriótica Nacional (APN) party, which obtained 0.43% of the votes in the General Elections of 24 August 2022. The party challenged the applicant's standing, the Court's jurisdiction and the constitutionality of the 0.5% threshold. The Court rejected these objections, upheld the threshold as linked to the representativeness required of parties, declared the party dissolved, and ordered its registration cancelled and its liquidation within 90 days.
