Constitutionality Challenge to Simonyan's Election as Speaker Postponed by Constitutional Court

The hearing on the constitutionality of Alen Simonyan's election as Speaker of the National Assembly has been postponed due to a change in the reporting judge. This information was provided in the procedural decisions of the Constitutional Court.

It is worth noting that the opposition had appealed to the Constitutional Court challenging the constitutionality of Simonyan's election to the position of Speaker. The application was scheduled to be reviewed today through written procedures.

“Considering the need to clarify circumstances essential to the resolution of the case, the Constitutional Court has decided to resume the proceedings. The hearing in this case has been postponed and rescheduled for April 29, 2022, at 11:00,” the procedural decision of the Court states.

Additionally, the Constitutional Court has made another procedural decision today, replacing reporting judge Yervand Khundkaryan and appointing Court President A. Dilyan as the reporting judge for this case, after which the proceedings were resumed.
