“ Should there be any serious injury to the Nation or its citizens arising from the organisation of the general election as scheduled by the royal decree, the EC must inform the Prime Minister or the Council of Ministers who may further enact a royal decree to redetermine the date of the general election. The Prime Minister and the EC President who are in charge of a royal decree dissolving the House of Representatives share this authority and accountability, for the sake of the smooth and successful organisation of a general election in keeping with the purposes of the Constitution. ”

“ Such a conflict of authority as referred to in the Constitution occurs when there is a disagreement or dispute over the exercise of authority of two organs or more and the authority is granted by the Constitution. ”

“ To this end, the Petitioner may seek cooperation from the Government whose duty is to command and supervise the pertinent authorities in the Executive Branch in supporting the activities of the Petitioner. ”
